Positive Messages
Lying, infidelity, theft -- like any other place, the world depicted here is riddled with human imperfection.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
Road rage is about as violent as it gets with this drama, which relies more on emotional upheaval.
Sex
Constant innuendo, banter, and simulated sex. The show is intended to be very racy.
Language
Conversations are peppered with talk of sex and the gamut of swear words ("damn," "s--t," "f--k").
Consumerism
The show is set in hip Los Angeles, so there's a high awareness of fashion and celebrity-driven trends.
Education Value
Ease of Play
Privacy
Alcohol abounds in social situations, as do recreational drugs.
