Family Room

Is Khalbali Records season 1 OK for kids?

Parents should know

A family feud drama about a father's record label vs a son's indie label, sparked by a rapper's on-stage shooting; some crude language, a same-sex romantic interlude, smoking, and a harassment subplot feature alongside themes of artistic integrity.
