•See how much mature content (like sex, nudity, profanity, violence, and drugs and drinking) and positive content (positive messages, role models, diverse representations) your kid will find in movies, TV shows, books, games, apps, podcasts, and more.
•Get firsthand insights and extra details from other parents and kids in our community reviews.
•Browse our library and effortlessly find the perfect pick for family movie night, thanks to intuitive filters, such as the streaming services you have, your kid's age and interests, and your family's preferences.
•Easily filter out movies and TV shows with content and messages that aren't appropriate for your kids or that isn't right for your family.
•Explore hand-curated collections of the best movies, shows, and books based on category, genre, theme, topic, and more.

Ratings and reviews

I entered the info for one of my children. I allowed for a range of ages 12 to 16. And I kept the violence/scariness at "a little". But there are results in the suggestions that I know would be too much for the child. I wish I could hold on one of the suggestions and, at least, click a "remove" option. Better yet would be to give a reason why. And have this input incorporated in the recommendations.

This is a must use for any parent - a helpful, informative, one-stop spot for checking out media for your child or adolescent. They review tv, movies, books, games, & apps. The criteria is consistent, straightforward, & easy to understand. I've paid the annual rate ($24) for 2-3 years but have been using their site for 7. It's absolutely worth it for unlimited access to the full reviews & to support CSM as it's a non-profit. The user parent & kid reviews are great, too!

I'm so grateful for Common Sense. We did purchase the subscription and it's been more than worth it! I appreciate all the work this organization to keep screen time safe and age appropriate for our kids.
