Sorry to be so late with this reply. This show is a new find for me after a long stretch of little time and inclination for TV. (As my dear, departed grandma would say about her lack of TV: "Don't need one, I have a fireplace.")
Each episode of every show has a rating attached and the reason why: sex, violence, drug use, language. also, each show on here is described by genre, this show is listed as comedy, drama, horror. This info is listed right there with the info that includes the name of the show.
I also think commonsense media.org gives honest factual reviews with no opinions and let's a reader decide. They do give an age appropriate guide as well.

I've raised three kids and they are reasonably successful and well-adjusted. I would advise against most advice available from random posters online (or on TV or from houses of worship).Of course, you should take my advice, because I'm reasonable sane and factual and seldom get all judgmental. but fair warning, folks may not like the next paragraph... haha
Oh, and side note: the Bible is pretty much Violence, Sex, Vengeance, alcohol abuse, more Violence and a couple baby slaughters thrown in. Lots of crazy rules and wandering around and harsh punishments for silly sins. It's like a guide for every abusive husband or boyfriend ever!!! and full of lots of passive-aggressive *beep* that is a classic psychological treatise. "So how did that make you feel after the flood and you killed all those innocent babies, God?" Mel Gibson's snuff film about Jesus was actually pretty sickening, but I have to admit, it was realistic. Other fun Bible stories: incest (get daddy drunk and have sex with him?? sure!), polygamy, slavery (both regular and sexual). But never fear, the heroes have concubines and kill scads of non-believers, but just ignore all that, m'kay? The Bible would be TV-21 at least! Take all things in the context they are presented. One is the "Holy Word of G-d" from cave dwellers about 2000-6000 years ago and one is a current-day entertainment option. Main difference, one isn't trying to run your life, it's attempting to entertain and possibly make you think. It's succeeding.
