Our take
180 is a Netflix thriller about a father whose son is critically hurt after a road-rage clash, then spirals toward vengeance. Expect frequent f-word outbursts, gun threats, assault references, and a child describing guns pointed at his dad. Bullying at school and cannabis use appear in subplot dialogue. Intense grief, rage, and vigilante choices make this an older-teen and adult drama, not family viewing
