Win or Lose: parents' guide

8+our pick

Best for ages 8 and up. Rated TV-PG.

A warm, funny Pixar series about a middle school softball team that grade-schoolers and parents can enjoy together. Each episode follows a different player, parent or the umpire in the week before the championship, so the same moments look different from each point of view. Expect sports bumps and bruises, a girl's anxiety shown as an imaginary creature, divorce and money worries, tween crushes, a grown-up's online dating, and some cheating and teasing. There is no profanity. Age 8 reflects the relatable but sometimes heavy family themes rather than any harsh content.

What's in it

Violence

Mild

Players are hit by softballs, one ends up with a bad bruise, and angry fans storm the field. A masked woman threatens the umpire while holding a nail-studded bat, a hot dog is thrown at a man, and a pitcher aims at a batter.

Language

None

No profanity. Insults stay at "doofus," "losers" and "butts," and "oh my God" is said a few times.

Sex and nudity

Mild

Tweens flirt and a young couple fights, and characters kiss. The umpire tries online dating, with avatars in underwear and a match's bikini photo, and one woman wears low-cut tops.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Mild

Adults drink wine now and then. No drunkenness, smoking or drug use was reported in the episodes reviewers covered.

Scary or intense scenes

Mild

A girl's anxiety appears as an imaginary creature that follows her, and a baby briefly chokes during the chaotic championship game before an adult saves him. Divorce, a parent's lost job and heavy parental pressure may hit home for some kids.

Sensitive topics

  • Bullying

Worth talking about

Each episode replays the same week from a different person's point of view. How does knowing what someone else is going through change how you see them?
