Family Room
Is The Freelancer season 1 OK for kids?
Parents should know
A rescue thriller set in ISIS-held Syria: a mercenary ex-cop tries to save a kidnapped bride. Expect tense themes of terrorism and radicalization, a lead who drinks, and some talk of duty and sacrifice, but little graphic action.
