Somebody Somewhere: parents' guide

No fighting or injuries are reported in any season. Conflict comes from family arguments, tense silences and blowups between Sam and her sister, all verbal.

Strong and constant. One review counted 14 f-words and 11 s-words in the first episode, and eight f-words plus three uses of the c-word in the season 3 opener. A subplot involves pillows embroidered with the c-word.

Mostly talk: a crude joke about "just the tip," sexual banter, and same-sex and straight couples kissing. Reviewers note brief nudity, including a man's bare rear. Dating is part of the story, but no explicit sex scenes are reported.

Sam's mother is an alcoholic whose drinking hurts the family; she goes to rehab in season 1 and is back in care later. Adults drink at dinners and parties, Sam's sister gets drunk, and edibles appear at a poker night.

Nothing scary. The weight is emotional: Sam's sister died of cancer just before the story begins, and Sam is often lonely, crying alone in her car and feeling left behind as others move on.
