Why did it get this rating? 

This series was self-rated by Disney+. You can find out more about self-rating by streaming providers here.

Violence

This series contains mild violence that is very limited in earlier episodes but builds up later on. Violence mostly happens as a result of  witchcraft, with characters being zapped into mummy-like corpses, and people, including children, being put in dangerous situations.

A small group of characters get involved in a brief confrontation where they knock out a few soldiers, but it is dark and no blood is seen.

One dead character is seen with bullet holes in him for a moment, and some blood is shown.

A woman has a flashback of the night her parents died. Though we do not see their bodies, it is a rather sudden and shocking scene.

Frightening scenes

A witch drains the life force from other women, leaving them presumably dead with drained skull-like faces.

A female character manipulates innocent people, which may be unsettling for some viewers.
