XO, Kitty (2023) Parents Guide: Is the series OK for kids?

Content in this category remains very light. There are no depictions of physical violence or gore. Some scenes involve arguments or emotional confrontations between friends, couples, or rivals, which can be intense but do not escalate to physical altercations. Competitive sports also feature, but without violent elements.

There is a noticeable increase in mild profanity compared to the first season. Words like "shit," "damn," "ass," and "bitch" are used more frequently, appearing multiple times in some episodes. This reflects heightened emotional states and arguments among the teenage characters, though stronger expletives are still generally avoided.

Key themes include self-discovery, navigating complex romantic relationships, and understanding family history. Kitty's quest to uncover more about her mother's past introduces themes of secret-keeping and finding one's place. Other characters deal with issues like jealousy, academic pressure, loyalty, and the challenges of maintaining friendships amidst romantic rivalries and changing alliances. LGBTQ+ themes continue to be present through same-sex relationships and identity exploration.
