A Lot or a Little?
The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that I Heart Nick Carter features the Backstreet Boys singer and his fiancée, Lauren Kitt, as they work through relationship challenges. No doubt that fans of the singer will be excited about it, but it contains some iffy language ("hell"; curses bleeped), and some themes relating to family strife and prenuptial agreements. There also are references to some partying behavior.

What's the Story?
I HEART NICK CARTER is a reality show featuring singer Nick Carter, the last single member of the Backstreet Boys, and his fiancée, Lauren Kitt, as they try to have a normal relationship while negotiating the Carter's celebrity status.
As the couple attempts to set a date for their wedding and embark on their new life together, Lauren works through the challenges brought on by Nick's career and celebrity status. Meanwhile, Nick is trying to figure out how to deal with the potential impact marriage will have on his career and learning how to make decisions as a couple. It's not easy, but they're committed to making their relationship work.
Is It Any Good?
From setting a wedding date that will please management to coping with fans who are unhappy with their relationship, the couple struggles to find a balance between Nick's singing career and their personal lives. But much of the series reveals many of the sacrifices that Lauren, who is the narrator of the show, has had to make to be with the singer.
One has to wonder if the series is produced as a way to gain sympathy for their relationship among fans, many of whom have very publicly been against it. Meanwhile, viewers may be surprised by how much control those who manage Nick's career seem to have over the decisions the couple makes. Regardless, Nick Carter fans definitely will be drawn to what they see here.
