From reports it's confusing. First they said it will in no way be like the live action Shyalaman film. Then I hear that's pretty much why talks broke off, cause of race washing. So, it may be deeper of course, but right now, doesn't make sense.
But do they have the moohla?
I have nothing else to add to this discussion other than that I totally agree with you.
Read about what content is involved for them to get that rating. Rather underwhelmed because it's just like any other teen drama except the teens get to be relatable & realistic (not as crass/delinquent as I assumed) + the monsters are now more horror-based. Netflix said they wanted this for the kids who are now grown up and are at the age when they gravitate toward these types of shows/movies. Obviously, on broadcast/traditional cable these are somehow TV-14.
Well, that Fandom Wire article detailing those apparent reasons was written by Andy Signore, who was dismissed from his role at Screen Junkies in 2017 after sexual assault allegations against him, which is why many fans were sceptical on those.
I'm not sure where the two relate. Are you saying he was a sexual predator, so everything he wrote were lies?
Well, it's complicated but it's just that I don't even think those reasons given by him on said article are in fact true.
Not surprised about it despite getting a mixed to negative reception from fans and critics.
