Unbelievable: parents' guide

Sexual violence: several rapes are shown in brief flashbacks, including a masked attacker who ties up and blindfolds his victim and threatens her with a knife. Rape kits, bruise photos and invasive exams are shown. Not exploitative, but disturbing.

Infrequent. A handful of f-words across the series, plus 'ass,' 'piss,' misuse of God's and Jesus' names, and frank clinical terms for body parts during interviews.

Sexual content centers on the assaults (see violence). A woman's bare back and backside are seen during an exam, a man is shown fully nude in a strip search, and there is frequent clinical talk about rape.

Brief. In one episode Marie, who is on probation, drinks and smokes marijuana, then misses her curfew and is removed from her housing program. Otherwise adults drink wine now and then, once to calm a friend after a terrible experience.

The attacks are terrifying, and survivors' fear and trauma linger on screen. The main character's isolation after no one believes her is crushing, and at one point she climbs over a bridge railing, considering suicide.
