Violence is infrequent but has emotional consequences: characters consider suicide, a teen slaps his mother in the face suddenly when she's cooking for him. A 14-year-old also drinks alone, including in a scene where he throws up and almost falls down from drunkenness. The show's Italian setting informs some of its content as a teen says, they can 'drink anywhere in Italy,' and they do, consuming cocktails and beer at parties and gatherings. Parents need to know that We Are Who We Are is a series about a teen who moves to an American military base in Italy when his mother is appointed commander of the unit.
