Is Betaal season 1 OK for kids?
Parents should know
A four-episode zombie-horror series: a paramilitary squad fights colonial-era zombie soldiers while a tribal village resists displacement. Expect some gore, occasional swearing, jump-scare horror, and an admired, resourceful tribal heroine leading the resistance.
