The Outlaws

Features some actors of color, and dives into the uniqueness of each character's background. However, the series' attempts to break stereotypes are often full of clichés and don't achieve the actual depth they appear to be striving for.

Features a range of violence, from someone throwing a bag at someone else, to another character threatening people at gunpoint.

The Outlaws contains very little sexual content. Some mild references to sex are sometimes made.

Mild profanity is sometimes used: "s--t," "ass," "bitch," etc.

Marijuana and cocaine use is shown. Characters are sometimes seen drinking alcohol. No cigarette smoking is shown.

Parents need to know that The Outlaws is a comedy-drama about a group of people from wildly different backgrounds who are assigned to community service in order to avoid prison. The series unfolds a little like Lost or The Good Place, in that the main plot happens in real time while flashbacks slowly reveal characters' pasts. Some violence is shown (e.g., one character steals some money at gunpoint), but it is used to advance the story rather than for the action or shock value. Drug use, including cocaine, is also shown. The series features a somewhat diverse cast (three main characters are persons of color) and contains themes about breaking stereotypes. However, there are numerous clichés that end up reinforcing some of the stereotypes that the show is ostensibly trying to break.
