I had not read it. I thought you were referring to the one phrase warning that the age ratings hold.

@Nimda

Oh, no. Certainly not. I had always been referring to IMDb's (usually-ish) extensive parental advisory.

Myriad Reality

@Balance
That's fair. I concede.

@Webmaster

Yeah, I was kind of confused, because I thought that you were implying you had read the parent's guide for Breaking Bad and that you thought it didn't really detail much at all.

LB: These bullets were meant to cripple Lizbeth. Fortunately, they aren't bound to her presence.

@Webmaster

A tear?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Again, at least for me, it needs to be explicit about what explicit content is contained. For all we know, it just means there was a kiss in one episode.

It is quite clear.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Again, that list never portrays the truth.

@Webmaster

I thought you were talking about the general content advisory. But Common Sense Media and Plugged in also advise about the content.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I'm glad you have, considering my stance on it, but I don't trust content warnings to accurately portray what is contained. That is why I look it up.

@Webmaster

I did look it up; IMDb has a parent's guide which lists most instances of content that parents might want to look out for--namely, sexual scenes, profanity, violence, and frightening/intense scenes. Breaking Bad's instances of the first were strong and did not seem particularly avoidable without exposing yourself to at least a few seconds of it.

The fact that it's rated R means nothing. Breaking Bad has drugs, but it's not saying drugs are good. Besides, wasn't it you that told me that you can watch/read/be exposed to whatever you want as long as you can appreciate the story?

@Nimda

I'm not talking about the drugs; I'm talking about the sexual content. And, yes, it was, but I asked--can it be avoided? Lately I've discarded a few things because I realised that their adverse content could not be reasonably avoided. IMDb's content advisory was enough for me to see that the same could be said of Breaking Bad. In fact, I can say the same thing of all other media which has had explicit sexual content that I have come across.
