We are deeply saddened by this unspeakable violence, and our hearts go out to every family mourning a loved one.” Netflix also edited the description of the premiere episode, which now says, “Warning: Contains graphic violence involving children.” THR writes that the streamer says the decision to add the card “given the proximity of the premiere to this tragedy — and because the opening scene is very graphic.” It will only appear for viewers in the United States, not globally.
