Is Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar season 1 OK for kids?
Parents should know
A lavish courtesan drama set in pre-independence Lahore; one scene shows British officers whipping prisoners, there's talk of extramarital affairs and wine drinking, and critics note no cursing or nudity though adult themes recur.
