Little Voice

A love triangle is one of the anchors of the drama; expect kissing, flirting, dating, crushes, romantic complications. Graphic references to sex, like in an episode when a woman screams at her boyfriend that he let another woman "blow you in the bathroom."

Cursing is not continual but includes "motherf-----g," "f--k," "hell," "s--t," "bulls--t," "a--hole," and "balls" (meaning courage).

Two characters struggle with alcohol; one is shown actually drunk and sloppy after handling emotional issues by drinking. A character works in a bar and many scenes are set there, where patrons drink beer and alcohol; we hear the name brands of liquors asked for.

Parents need to know that Little Voice is a drama about a young woman who's compelled to create music, yet fears she won't be able to find an audience and fills her life with other complications instead. Two main characters struggle with alcohol; we see one drunk and handling emotional problems by drinking, and another attempting to not follow in his footsteps. A bar is a main setting; we see patrons drinking and asking for alcohol by name. A love triangle is a dramatic center of the show; expect kissing, flirting, dating, and references to sex, some explicit, like when a woman refers to finding her boyfriend with a woman in a bathroom receiving oral sex. Cursing includes "f--k," "hell," "s--t," "a--hole," and "balls." The cast is diverse in terms of age, race, ethnicity, and ability; a character with autism is played by an actor who's on the autism spectrum, and the character is treated with love, good humor, and respect. Themes of empathy and compassion are clear, with supportive relationships and a main character who's frequently told she's talented and can be successful in the music business, provided she's willing to work hard and stick with it.
