Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Broadchurch revolves around the death of an 11-year-old boy, but there's no blood and only a few brief shots of the body. That said, you will hear some unbleeped swearing (mostly "s--t") and other salty terms like "piss off" and "hell." All other iffy content is mostly described rather than shown: several characters are involved in illegal drug-dealing, and two characters are having an affair.

Sexual Content

Two characters, one of whom is married, are having an affair.

Violence

Violence is implied with the dead body of an 11-year-old boy, but it's a bloodless crime.

Language

Some audible swearing (mainly "s--t"). Other terms include "piss off," "hell," etc.

Social Behavior

While the detectives' quest for the truth is a constant, so is the prevailing sense that the small town of Broadchurch -- a seemingly idyllic place -- is teeming with secrets. On the plus side, justice is ultimately served.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

A teenage girl is dating a drug dealer, and police find a stash of cocaine under her bed. A local hotel owner is also a drug dealer.
