Pretty Smart

Parents need to know that Pretty Smart is a sitcom about a group of roommates in Los Angeles that includes a pair of sisters trying to bond after becoming estranged while growing up. The overall mood of the show is upbeat and positive, and the roommates are also loyal friends who support and accept one another. The humor and themes can be mature however, like a scene in which a man refers to having sex with two women (and it sounds like it was at the same time) and an episode in which the roommate group plays a drinking game based around mail received by a former occupant of their apartment. Flirting, dating, kissing, crushes, and boyfriends and girlfriends (same- and opposite-sex) play a big part in storylines.Pretty Smart Season 1 Download

People of color play main and side characters, though race/ethnicity is generally not referred to directly; diversity of gender expression and sexual identity is more prominent, as one member of the roommate group is proudly LGBT and teaches another roommate how to be casual about people who have different opinions and lifestyles than she does. Cursing is occasional: “damn,” “hell.” Characters read as stereotypes but later show hidden depths: kindness, tolerance, reliability, thoughtfulness.When PRETTY SMART’s Chelsea (Emily Osment) finds herself suddenly in need of a place to live after graduating from college, her sister Claire (Olivia Macklin) is delighted to invite her to join her and her roommates in Los Angeles. There’s personal trainer Grant (Gregg Sulkin), fashion-obsessed social media influencer Jayden (Michael Hsu Rosen), and lawyer-turned-healer-turned-lawyer Solana (Cinthya Carmona). Chelsea values intellectual pursuits and first finds her new roomies vapid. But before long she realizes this gang has real depth and love for one another, even if their days have more to do with drinking games and cardio than literature and academia.
