Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this Canadian police drama is milder than most U.S. cop shows, but it still has plenty of content that makes it an iffy choice for younger viewers. Subjects like prostitution, drug dealing, addiction, and murder are consistently discussed, and gunshot victims (often with bloody wounds) are visible. Characters are sometimes shown getting undressed and standing in their underwear, and they often unwind over beer, tequila, martinis, and other drinks.

Sexual Content

Prostitutes are often suspects and/or witnesses. Officers are occasionally shown taking off their outer clothes and/or standing in their underwear in locker rooms.

Violence

People are chased, shoved, and knocked down. Guns are visible, shots are fired, and bloody gunshot wounds are visible. Some minor hazing scenes, including forcibly handcuffing rookies and making them find a way to get out.

Language

Generally mild; potential for words like "hell" and "damn."

Social Behavior

The rookie cops must rely on their own strengths -- and each other -- to succeed. Hard work matters, but it isn't always enough.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Characters drink beer, tequila shots, martinis, and other liquor at bars. The police also often find themselves dealing with drug dealers and addicts and investigating crimes at crack houses.
