Parent Verdict

Murders, serial killers, gangs, cults, and drugs, plus teens regularly in sexual relationships (including with adults early on) and heavy drinking. It is soapy rather than graphic, but the content list is long. Fits the TV-14 label: 14 and up, ideally with awareness of the wilder storylines.
