Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this series includes subtle references to sex and drugs, as well as mildly violent scenes in which a murder is committed. The main character suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and is easily rattled by germs, chaos, and changes in routine, a fact that is sometimes played for laughs (albeit sympathetic ones).

Sexual Content

Not applicable

Violence

In each episode, a murder is committed and the crime scene -- including the dead body -- is featured.

Language

Mild ("son of a bitch") and infrequent.

Social Behavior

Crimes are solved through smart (albeit quirky) detective work. Death, widowhood, and OCD are also strong themes here.
