There is no US rating to lean on, so here is what we tagged: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and frequent strong language.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
