Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the main character of this mature pay-cable comedy smokes cigarettes, acts hungover, receives oral sex from a nun (inside a church), curses prolifically, talks in detail about oral sex, and appears in bed with a topless woman whose husband comes home and chases him out of the house -- and that's just in the first few minutes of the pilot episode! The rest of the series follows much the same course, with lots of graphic sex, nudity (full female, partial male), uncensored swearing (including "f--k"), drinking, smoking, and drug use (some, briefly, by teens). The main character (an adult) also has sex with a teenager who he assumed was an adult.

Sexual Content

Graphic sex, full female nudity, partial male nudity, explicit discussions about sex acts and sexual parts. Some discussion of teen sexuality. The main character sleeps with a teenager he assumed was of age.

Violence

Some fistfights and wrestling; some consensual sexual violence.

Language

Everything -- from "f--k" to "slut" -- is uncensored and frequent.

Social Behavior

The main character is cynical and promiscious but has a good heart.

Consumerism

The show depicts lavish lifestyles.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Frequent drinking and smoking. Some brief scenes of teen drug use (a bong is shown, as well as a line of a powdered drug).
