# The Listener — Parent Guide This TV-14 action drama follows a paramedic with mind-reading abilities solving crimes. While language and sexual content are mild, **strong violence is frequent** and may concern sensitive viewers. The show's complex themes about trauma and isolation work best for mature teenagers. Consider your child's comfort with action sequences before allowing viewing.

Toby Logan is a highly skilled paramedic with a secret – he can read minds. Toby never really knew his parents and grew up in foster care, this coupled with his secret, which he shares with no one, has made him a bit of a loner. Until now, Toby has kept his ability hidden, exploring its possibilities only with his long time mentor and confidante Dr. Ray Mercer.
