Ages 12+, but every child is different

The series balances lighthearted comedy with frequent sequences of stylized, albeit non-graphic, violence involving espionage and weaponry. Themes of deception and family duty require a level of maturity to distinguish between the characters' comedic misunderstandings and their high-stakes professional roles.
