Television Review: DMX: Soul of a Man
What Parents Should Know
Parents need to know that the show explores some serious
subjects, including suicide. DMX is on a quest to reexamine and
improve his life, but his problematic behavior has a way of
catching up with him; suffice it to say that he's not exactly a
strong role model. What's more, each episode is laced with
bleeped-out curses, and some of it is just plain boring. For
dedicated DMX fans only.
Families can talk about feeling secure and confident. When is
it normal to feel sad or depressed, and when is it a problem?
Why is it important to work hard while being prepared for
moments of failure? Families can also talk about DMX's
experiences and history. What's brought him to this point? What
choices could he make differently over the course of the show?

Many scenes feature DMX on his cell phone, and it's often extremely difficult to make out what the person on the line is saying, even with the addition of subtitles. What's more, the scenes in which viewers see the rapper go about his life (grocery shopping, pumping gas) are rather dull. Between the frequent swearing (harsher words are bleeped), DMX's very questionable status as a role model, and some of the series' heavier content, this one's not for the younger set.
