Implied is always the best way to do horror. Let your mind fill in the gaps.More like R adult. The bloodiest bits are implied, rather than shown graphically.
I thought 10 was the last one. I got the feeling that 11 was true to the graphic novel / comic format where there is the bonus short story that looks unrelated but connects to the main story that you just finishedIf you watched it right away the finale would have been 10, and 11 would have been a surprise bonus
(They apparently weren't and maybe still aren't guaranteed a season 2).
The best example I ever saw of that was an old Simpsons halloween episode, the one with the Shining parody. Crazy Homer steps out behind someone with an axe, and - since this was pre-watershed on BBC - the scene cuts straight to a reaction shot of Marge saying "Oh my. I hope that carpet was Scotchguarded." Which was far more evocative than when I later saw the scene played out in full.Implied is always the best way to do horror. Let your mind fill in the gaps.
Sandman was amazing, but they messed up the end of the season. The last episode was just the Sandman doing something that could have been inserted anywhere in the season. It was anticlimactic. The episode just prior to it felt like a season ender, with Lucifer getting ready to go on the offensive. They should have swapped those two episodes.
It's just a typical day in your average American diner. Right?Oh, I think "24/7", the episode with John Dee in the diner, is pretty adult.
Yes, for the same reason we don't advertise smoking to kids.I have to admit that I giggle a little bit when I see content warnings that includes smoking right alongside self-harm. Do we really need a content warning for smoking?
I can just picture a parent reading the warnings: "Murder? Fine. Suicide? Yeah, that's fine. Self-harm? Not a problem at all. Smoking? Oh, no! Little Johnny can't handle any smoking!"Yes, for the same reason we don't advertise smoking to kids.
Is there a reason why harmful addictive substances don't belong on that list?I can just picture a parent reading the warnings: "Murder? Fine. Suicide? Yeah, that's fine. Self-harm? Not a problem at all. Smoking? Oh, no! Little Johnny can't handle any smoking!"
I'm guessing it's the contrast with, say, Murder and Suicide, that makes it stick out. Feels like "Strong language" is even a level lower than the rest.Is there a reason why harmful addictive substances don't belong on that list?
