I was thinking about what I had said to you in my reply. There is a LOT of interesting period details that an 8 year old would like, and while there is some violence an innuendo, it’s not excessive. Under further consideration, if you screened the episodes, and were able to skip some of the more grown up scenes, it would probably be good for an 8 year old.
Thanks again! We’ve done that in the past, with my daughter, when she was little. just fast fowarded through certain scenes. Those things are almost never essential to the main plot, they’re just put in to jazz things up. Which is fine too, I have no objection to adult level entertainment.
Remember that movie that everybody loved so much, “Sideways”? About a couple of guys having life issues as they wandered through the California wine country (that’s how I remember it). I think it even won Best Picture at the Oscars.
It was an OK movie, but the thing that was great about it was that it bored my then teenage daughter half to death. She watched about one minute of it. I was like: good, something for the grownups for once!
