Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
Some seasons are mostly flirting and suggestive comments, while other seasons include some sex scenes between adults.
Violence & Gore
Plenty of gunfire. The main character sometimes seeks reasons to draw his sidearm; several people are shot, some killed, and most attacks are shown. Villains sometimes use heavy weapons such as a rocket launcher.
Profanity
Plenty of swearing, including many unbleeped uses of "s--t" and variations. Villains are racist white supremacists who often use highly inflammatory terms.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Plenty of drinking, with people socializing in bars and sometimes getting pretty drunk. Some smoking and discussion of drugs and drug dealing.
Frightening Scenes
Gunplay, including death by gunfire, and a primary narrative involving a gang of white supremacists create intense, tense moments.
Other things to know
A few mentions of well-known brands, such as RC Cola and Lysol.
Positives & learning
More filled segments mean stronger positive content or learning value.
Positive messages
The series plays like an old Western, with a strong-silent lawman making clear that crime and bad manners will not be tolerated, though he seems anachronistic where due process is considered critical.
Role models
Raylan's sense of justice sometimes overrides law and order; he may eliminate a bad guy and justify his choice. The review notes he is not always wrong but that his vigilante act is hard to justify.
Representation
The review notes that the show is a racially charged drama featuring a white-supremacist gang as primary villains.
Learning
Families can discuss Raylan's idea of dispensing justice, including whether it is acceptable for him to shoot bad guys who do not pose an immediate threat.
