Shrinking: parents' guide

Occasional fights: a veteran with PTSD badly beats a man who punched him, leaving a bloodied face, and later goads workers into beating him and ends up in the hospital. A man is pushed off a cliff and survives.

Very frequent. One review counted about 42 f-words in the pilot and 30-plus in other episodes, plus many s-words, "bitch," "dick" and "ass," and God's name used as an exclamation.

Lots of crude sex talk and jokes, including a dildo gag. The grieving dad spends a night with women who appear to be sex workers, seen in underwear. A 17-year-old and a college student sleep together (kissing, then waking up together). Nothing explicit.

The widower opens the series drunk and high, with a bowl of Adderall and painkillers beside him. Adults drink heavily, someone eats weed brownies by accident and acts high, marijuana is smoked, and a drunk-driving crash starts the story.

Grief drives the story after a teen's mother dies in a drunk-driving crash. In season 2 the driver considers ending his life at a train station; in season 3 a patient dies by suicide off screen. Plots also cover PTSD, abuse and Parkinson's.
