When a relationship ends, take time to grieve, but know that you'll live to love another day. Successful relationships don't come from finding the perfect partner, but rather appreciating tiny perfections in a flawed person. If you're unhappy with your situation, change it. Look beyond someone's past, and evaluate them on their current character. Argues that too many black men have served time in jail for women to make that a disqualifier in dating. Addresses the potential pitfalls of online relationships. Addresses addiction and recovery with warmth and forgiveness but also encourages marijuana abuse.

Frank consciously changed the way he approached life after serving time in jail; now, he owns a local business, hosts AA meetings, sticks to his rules of addiction recovery, and gives inspirational speeches to encourage convicts to live better. But some characterizations are quite stereotypical, including Tanya, who exaggerates every cliché of a former convict, including threatening to harm anyone who crosses her. Female characters treat men like sex objects.

A former inmate constantly threatens people with death or violence, although no fighting actually occurs on camera. She's also sexually aggressive toward unreceptive men. The hair of a man in a wheelchair is intentionally lit on fire for laughs. 

Plot revolves around adult romance/dating, and most of the comedy hinges on raunchy sexual humor, including explicit sexual language, descriptive references to sex acts and genitalia, and a sexually aggressive female character who harasses and objectifies men. Three extended sex scenes: Two, comedic; the other, sensual, with clothes off (though no sensitive body parts shown). Character orgasms on camera for laughs. A character tries to give a man oral sex while he's driving. A woman suggests doing things to men sexually for money/to avoid trouble. A lingerie-clad woman dances for several minutes.

Constant swearing/explicit language. Words used include "ass," "bitch," "bulls--t," "damn," "d--k," "hell," "ho," the "N" word, "p---y," "s--t," "slut." Just about every iteration of "f--k" is used.

Lots of talk/jokes about smoking pot, including frequent mentions of wanting, smoking, growing weed. A mother is almost always high, and despite one of her daughters being a recovering addict, she encourages her other child to smoke pot. A character mentions using "the pipe" and "needing a cigarette." Drinking is shown as a method of dealing with an uncomfortable situation.
