Good Girls (2018) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual content is mild, consisting mostly of suggestive dialogue and some implied sexual encounters, without any nudity or explicit acts shown. There are discussions about infidelity and romantic relationships that include a married man getting another woman pregnant. One character uses their body to distract for criminal purposes, but this is played for suggestive tension rather than explicit content.

Violence is moderate and includes armed robberies, where characters are threatened with guns, though these are later revealed to be fake for the initial robbery. There are physical confrontations, a character is shot in the hand (off-screen, with blood shown), and another is hit in the head with a bottle, resulting in a fall through a glass table and visible blood. The threat of violence from gang members is a constant underlying element.

Moderate profanity is common, including uses of 'sh*t,' 'bitch,' 'asshole,' and 'damn.' The language reflects the high-stress situations the characters find themselves in, escalating from the first season. Stronger expletives like 'f**k' are used sparingly, often in moments of intense frustration or danger.

Strong themes of desperation, morality, and the consequences of criminal choices are central. Characters grapple with financial hardship, infidelity, child custody battles, serious health concerns (a child needing a kidney transplant), and escaping abusive relationships. The show explores the ethical dilemmas faced by the protagonists as they become increasingly entangled in their criminal enterprise.
