==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: MPAARATING (notes)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

I've never seen this; apparently the first season of the original Danish series hints at elements of Lovecraftian cosmic horror, with a subterranean gate between world beginning to open, but never quite delivers on it, though perhaps later seasons expand on it a bit.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''
