Physical: 100: parents' guide
Best for ages 13 and up. Rated TV-14.
A slick Korean fitness competition for teens who love sports and feats of strength. One hundred athletes, bodybuilders, fighters and soldiers face grueling challenges, from hanging from a bar over water to dragging a ship, and eliminated players smash a plaster cast of their own torso. The concerns: combat-style one-on-one matches with occasional hits to the face and rare broken bones, near-constant s-words, and leering comments about women competitors. There is no drinking and no sexual content beyond that. It suits about 13 and up.
What's in it
Violence
ModerateChallenges include one-on-one grappling matches and, in season 2, bouts in a UFC cage. Contestants show pain, scratches and bruises, are occasionally hit in the face, and in rare cases break bones.
Language
ModerateCommon Sense flags near-constant use of the s-word in the English audio and subtitles. It does not list f-words.
Sex and nudity
MildNo sex or nudity beyond shirtless men and bodies on display in athletic wear, but some male competitors give leering looks and make sexist remarks about the women, which Common Sense counts as strong innuendo.
Drinking, drugs and smoking
NoneNo drinking, drug use or smoking is noted by reviewers. The focus stays on training, strength and physical performance.
Scary or intense scenes
MildMoody, Squid Game-style sets, punishing endurance tests and occasional injuries create tension, but there is no real menace.
Worth talking about
The show asks whether the biggest muscles always win. Talk about how strategy, endurance and attitude matter, and about the way some men talk about the women competing.
