Why this rating?

Minor injuries are mentioned, but not described in graphic detail.

Strong language3/5
Why this rating?

LGBTQIA characters1/5

LGBTQIA representation is not a meaningful part of the story; any references or characters appear incidental rather than prominent.

Religious themes1/5
Why this rating?

Brief cultural references to church attendance, but not a religious work.

Romance3/5
Why this rating?

Stephanie's romantic and sexual tension with recurring love interests is prominent and intertwined with the plot.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Recurring threats, pursuit, explosions and criminal danger create moderate tension, but the comedic tone keeps it from being intensely frightening.

Sexual content & nudity3/5
Why this rating?

Contains frequent sexual innuendo, jokes, and some light steam.

Alcohol or drugs2/5
Why this rating?

Positive messages2/5
Why this rating?

The story supports persistence, loyalty, independence, and helping others, while treating reckless choices and criminal behavior humorously.
