Wealthy families feud for control of their fortune and children in this brisk, pulpy, and campy drama.
A comfort watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Netflix.
Moderate sex and nudity, which is more than most TV-14 titles carry. Beyond that, some strong language and some violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
