You can expect to see characters making out, having sex, underage drinking and partying, and profanity used by some characters. To sum it up, The Summer I Turned Pretty is not kid friendly for kids under 13. Many tweens and teens will want to watch the show, especially if they’ve seen the first season.
The second season of The Summer I Turned Pretty is more appropriate for teens than the first season. Parents should use discretion or screen a show first if they have questions about whether it’s appropriate for their kids.
While this season may be more kid friendly than the first season, there are still issues with lack of parental supervision as whole. I get the appeal of the show to teens – it’s escapism. Pretty people navigating tough problems, especially when dealing with death of a beloved family member. Everyone is hurting and dealing with grief in their own way.
The Summer I Turned Pretty will continue to entertain tweens and teens alike. But also, this season I’m Team Belly. Dump both of them I say.
