Generally safe
"Cipher Bureau" is a mild drama about espionage and coded secrets with no profanity, violence, or sexual content. The plot involves a young man caught up with spies and a double agent, which may interest older children but could confuse younger ones. It's generally safe for family viewing, though the spy storyline works best for children age 10+.
