Nearly every rating relating to strong sexual content and violence was shown before the premiere episode, yet the Spartacus series has more overt sex, nudity, and language than this show did. I can only surmise the reason was to get viewers attention to watch. Other than the 'click bait' as it's referred to on YouTube when the title gives false info about the video content. I took about half way through to begin to get the dark humor and point of the show and it's characters. I agree it's a refreshing alternative to all the CW DC comic based shows. And the reality proposed in this show is about as likely to be real if there really were people with superpowers. Power has always corrupted absolutely and always will.
