Our take

A man who served time for his brother's crime warily comes back to family in this US TV-MA drama. Hope and healing grow through a life-changing bond with his niece. Strong swearing, body-image pressure, and action violence stay in the mix. Mature teens and adults are the natural fit. ClearAge puts it around 14.
