MPAA Ratings
- Rated: TV-14 (Violence, Profanity and Adult Content)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
I've not seen any of this series yet, but viewers who have suggest that there are a few subtle Lovecraftian themes running through the series, such as an otherworldly conspiracy across time and space using Earth as a laboratory, pre-human civilizations, the theme of forbidden or sanity-shaking knowledge, and dream-reality.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
