Keep in mind that the main characters are supposed to be very young


I hope that the show avoids a whole lot of sex content-- Star is supposed to be what, 18? The sister is 16 I guess, and the rich girl is maybe 20?

I hope the show isn't all about trying to stick them into strip clubs and the like while trying to get a record deal.

I agree. That could be a deal breaker for me. They already made it to easy for Simone to get alcohol at the party.

I disagree.

IMO they should realistically show Star dating/sleeping with black musicians and models to try and fit in and further her career.

This happens. It should be shown, for good or ill.

Say, do you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper.....

If she's 18 she's an adult

I'm ok with the sex and drugs, because it is realistic. For me, I have an issue with objectifying the young women in the show. If the sex and drugs is making a point and done in a way that is respectful to the performer, I'm all for it. But I wouldn't want the show to glamorize the behavior or do it without serving a purpose to the larger story.

It's not a documentary.

It's a tv show - the sex is awkward, humiliating and FAKE.

If you want to watch sex go watch porn - or better yet just have sex.

The show is on FOX which means it is subject US broadcasting rules from the FCC.
