I can't speak for other countries, but in the U.S. on television they might give vague warnings about language, violence, or sexual situations for a series or even a specific episode within a series.

But, no. There really aren't any specific warnings. For example...a warning for "sexual situations" does not delve any deeper than that one phrase. It's applied equally to scenes depicting consensual sex (usually filmed hazily) and violent rape. The only way you *might* be able to guess what they mean is the context. If its a warning for a fluffy rom-com-like TV series, then it's probably consensual. If it's for Law & Order: SVU its probably rape.

Really, our TV warning system is...not the best.

Neither are our movie ratings. If there's on-screen sex in the movie, even if it's consensual and presented in a romantic light, it's practically an automatic R (adults over 18, or under-18 only accompanied by an adult). You're guaranteed an R if *the woman* is shown enjoying the on-screen sex (no, this is not a joke).

However, if someone gets their head blown off on screen in an orgy of violence, it *might* be an R, but could just as likely be PG-13 depending on the context (age 13 and up and be unaccompanied, 13 and under must be with an adult).

That's how it is in Australia too. AYRT is being deliberately obtuse.
