La Doña parents guide

For a TV-14, this one goes further: moderate sex and nudity. Beyond that, some strong language and strong violence.

Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.

Three questions

Is La Doña scary?
Only a little. La Doña has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is La Doña?
Light gore and strong violence.
What is La Doña rated, and is it OK for kids?
Rated TV-14. Expect moderate sex and nudity, some strong language, and strong violence, so it suits teens more than kids.

What is La Doña about?

A story of revenge and ambition, seduction and betrayal; all told from the perspective of an offended and abused woman named Altagracia. Altagracia represents the hundreds of thousands of Mexican women who have been victims of the violence by faceless men who are protected by impunity. But Altagracia, transformed into a strong-willed, ruthless man-eater known as La Doña, will seek out each and every one of these men to bring them to justice.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
