Ted Lasso: parents' guide

Infrequent but real: a son knocks his father down with a punch, hooligans beat a man in slow motion, leaving a bloody nose and bruises, and the team's dog mascot is killed offscreen. A nightmare shows cartoonish spurting blood.

Profanity is the main concern: a dozen or more f-words in many episodes, plus s-words, British insults such as wanker and twat, crude anatomical terms and misuse of God's name. The swearing continues through season 4.

Frequent sex jokes, including masturbation and genital references. Couples are implied to sleep together, a nearly nude pinup is taped over, and bare backsides appear briefly in the locker room. Infidelity, a leaked intimate video and a season 4 video-call sex mishap drive storylines.

Social drinking is constant, sometimes to excess. Drug content is mostly comic: talk of accidentally taking magic mushrooms, space cakes and a drug-laced tea in Amsterdam, a man rubbing white powder on his gums, and a season 4 clerk who is clearly high.

No horror, but real emotional weight: the lead's panic attacks are shown, a parent dies and the funeral is depicted, and therapy sessions explore his father's suicide. A dog mascot's accidental death may upset younger viewers.
