Survivor's Remorse

Scenes of violence, including gunplay, punching, and threats of further violence, take place in front of a grade-school-age child. Guns are brandished and fired; characters point guns at each other and threaten to maim victims. Men engage in fistfights.

Sex is graphically depicted on-screen, with breasts visible and couples thrusting and moaning. There also are numerous references to sex, such as when a lesbian character makes an off-color joke about oral sex. A character refers to child molestation as an adult "going all Sandusky" on a young boy, and a son thanks his mother for not aborting him.

Very frequent cursing, including all the four-letter words, graphic words referring to body parts and sexuality, and racial slurs, including one character calling Chinese people "chinks." Gendered cursing includes a character calling a male lead a "little bitch" when he cries.

Characters drink and use drugs such as marijuana on-screen. They refer to "needing" a drink and act drunk and stoned.

Parents need to know that Survivor's Remorse is an adult-oriented half-hour dramedy about a young man who becomes famous and successful overnight when he's hired to play basketball for a professional team in Atlanta. Sexual situations are depicted graphically on-screen, with nudity (breasts and buttocks) and thrusting and moaning. Off-color jokes about and references to sex also are common. Cursing is near-constant, with all the four-letter words represented. Characters drink (and act drunk) on-screen; they smoke marijuana (and act stoned). Violent acts are frequent, including gunplay, threats of torture, and fistfighting, sometimes in front of grade-school-age children. Despite this, the show is beautifully written, filmed, and acted, and characters get through difficult situations with dignity and kindness.
