The Exes (2011) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Sexual content is primarily suggestive humor and innuendo. Dialogue often revolves around dating, sex, and relationships, with many double entendres and jokes about romantic and sexual encounters. Characters are seen kissing and implied to be sexually active, but no nudity or explicit sex scenes are shown. There's a plotline in one episode where Stuart dates a 'working girl,' but this is handled comically without graphic detail. One episode implies a character has a one-night stand after a dental appointment.

There is no physical violence or gore present throughout this season. The show maintains a consistent focus on comedic dialogue and roommate interactions rather than physical confrontation. Episodes rely entirely on situational humor and verbal exchanges to drive the plot forward.

Language use is mild but consistent, including words like "hell," "damn," "ass," and "bitch." Sexual slang and suggestive terms are frequently used in character dialogue, contributing to the TV-PG rating.

Alcohol consumption is frequent throughout the season, with characters regularly shown drinking wine, beer, and cocktails in social settings at home or bars. It is typically portrayed as a casual social activity, and characters are occasionally depicted as mildly intoxicated for comedic effect, but never to the point of severe impairment or consequence. Drug use is absent.

The primary theme is navigating divorce and new relationships, explored through comedic situations. Characters deal with the aftermath of infidelity, the challenges of starting over, and the sometimes-awkward reality of cohabitation. There are light themes of loneliness and self-reinvention, particularly as Haskell attempts to impress an ex-wife or new dates. These are handled with a light, humorous touch.
