Big Mouth: parents' guide

Cartoon roughhousing and fantasy sequences: friends shove each other, Jay's older brothers routinely bully him, monsters wreck buildings and a skeleton army attacks in one episode. A character tries to stab another with a knife. Nothing realistic or gory.

Constant profanity, with multiple f-words and s-words per episode and occasional use of the c-word, plus crude slang for body parts and very graphic talk about masturbation, menstruation and oral sex. God and Jesus are used as exclamations.

Sex is the core subject. Animated male and female genitals are shown, characters masturbate, make out and have sex, and gags feature giant genitals. Later seasons cover sex toys, bisexuality, porn and an affair, and a teacher is fired for taking advantage of a student.

Two middle schoolers get high on a parent's marijuana gummies, a student sells his prescription Adderall to classmates before a big test, and a final-season episode centers on smoking too much weed. Adults drink, and there are jokes about a heroin overdose.

Not scary, but heavy at times: a Depression Kitty and a Shame Wizard personify depression, anxiety and shame, and one girl spends an arc sinking into depression. A grandfather's funeral anchors one episode.
