Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Family Tree gets slapped with a "mature" TV rating mainly for its language (which includes unbleeped instances of "f--k," "s--t," "c--t," etc.), although salty talk isn't constant. Along with the swearing, you'll also hear sexually charged jokes regarding masturbation and intercourse that are cheeky, but hardly graphic. There's some light social drinking, too.

Sexual Content

Sexual humor is suggestive rather than overt, with brief jokes about masturbation and intercourse. The main character inherits a box of family heirlooms that includes a Victorian dildo and a used jock strap, etc.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Audible language includes "f--k," "s--t," "c--t," "ass," and "hell."

Social Behavior

Although it's constructed as a mechanism for comedy, the main character's earnest exploration of his roots nets some surprising family connections and brings him closer to his father. Kids who watch might also be inspired to look into their own family trees.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Light social drinking.
