While Netflix has announced that The Sandman, one of its most anticipated upcoming series of the year, will not be recommended for those under 18, another show of a completely different genre on the platform was already also not recommended for minors. .
This is rare but not unprecedented. Netflix has advised against one of its most anticipated future series of 2022 for those under 18: The Sandman, adaptation of one of Neil Gaiman’s comics, being intended for a mature audience because of the themes addressed and transposed to the screen, such as drugs, suicide and self-harm.
The series carried by Tom Sturridge should therefore be faithful to the source material, which followed the people and places affected by Morpheus, the king of dreams, as he repairs the cosmic and human mistakes he made during his vast existence.
The other Netflix series not recommended for those under 18
Note that few original programs are not recommended for those under 18 on Netflix. Another work of a completely different genre is also not recommended for minors: it is the erotic series Sex/Life, containing a lot of nudity, sex scenes and full frontal.
Based on the novel 44 Chapters About 4 Men by BB Easton, Sex/Life recounts the dreary daily life of Billie (Sarah Shahi), a woman who escapes from her life as a tidy wife by writing her greatest fantasies in her diary.
This allows her to also remember her torrid past where she multiplied the conquests of an evening but also her relationship with Brad (Adam Demos), her ex whom she never really forgot and who made her spend nights inflamed.
A hit on Netflix, Sex/Life has proven to be a guilty pleasure for platform subscribers with a plot that will titillate its audience and fairly graphic scenes that correspond to an adult audience. The American giant unsurprisingly renewed the series for a second season, currently in production.
