Not for Children or Squeamish Adults!
"Moving" can't decide if it's an uplifting, coming of age story about high school kids with extraordinary powers or a graphically violent Quentin Tarantino type flick for those adults with strong stomachs. This is not--and I repeat not--a series for kids even though the description and poster would lead you to believe that. Trust the TV-MA rating. The violence is extreme and completely unnecessary. Had 90% of the violence been eliminated, the series wouldn't have suffered one iota and the viewing audience could have easily doubled. If not for the fast forward button on my remote, I would not have made it through this series and that's a shame because the acting was superb and the story was very engaging. (I also loved the catchy OST.) I purposively stopped watching U.S. films/TV and gravitated toward Hallyu to avoid the gratuitous violence and sex--and I'm no prude. It appears that when U.S. stream services, i.e., Disney/Hulu, Netflix, etc., are involved the S. Korean film makers cave to our morally corrupt culture rather than importing everything that has been good about Hallyu. Come on S. Korea! You attracted an international audience for a reason. Please don't lose us!
