Parents Guide

• Sex Mild

  Some episodes contain scenes with characters in bed with each other.

  Throughout the show some sensitive topics regarding sex are discussed, such as sexual abuse/assult and pornography.

  Some sexual content that is infrequent. Established couples have sex off-screen but can be shown making out in underwear. Couples also have frank discussions about their sex. An ep briefly deals with phone sex (this is never shown and it's only talked about, but does mention masturbation).

  A female doctor shows her breasts to a young boy. We do not see anything. She does this so the boy has a chance to see a woman's breasts before being blinded. He leaves the room with an excited look on his face and a raised heart rate.

  A female doctor is heard having sex until it is interrupted by a phone call. She is shown on top, gets off the bed and is putting on her pants with her shirt unbuttoned.

  Main characters show cleavage often.

• Violence Moderate

  Each episode involves some sort of surgical room procedure, typically involving images of operating on a person, exposed organs, etc. However, a lot of the surgeries and medical operations are offscreen.

  When you see the operation in progress, it can be shocking for some people. It isn't too gross though.

  Lots of close up of surgeries. Close ups op cutting people open, open bone fractures, blood squirting etc.

  Very graphic medical gore, blood squirting, open bodies etc:

  During the Start Of A Surgery Scene, It Shows Them Cutting Into A Woman's Stomach And Peeling Away A Thin Layer Of Her Skin Beneath.

  Quite A Lot Of Gore For A TV-14 Show.

  There are tons of up close I would say very graphic surgeries for being TV-14.

  Animal abuse. In a flashback memory, a father rips a living bunny away from a child and throws the bunny at the wall which kills it. You can see and hear the impact.

  During one of the episodes a surgery takes place and a characters face gets cut off and transported to another characters face.

  During an episode conjoined twins are separated revealing a fully shown brain inside a cut open head in one scene.

• Profanity Mild

  Words include d**n, ass, God.

  One use of "Holy mother of God"

  b**ch is occasionally used.

• Drugs Mild

  Characters get drunk and are hungover.

• Frightening Scenes Mild

  A character has a tantrum when demoted.

  A character with autism is treated like an outcast by coworkers.

  The main character has autism and some intense scenes with him can be disconcerting.
