There’s a recurring theme of Marenghi being a misogynist and it reflecting in its work. And while not depicted directly it’s heavily implied that the lead actress (and only female character) in-universe was murdered

Played for jokes but it's by an alien/eyeball monster and it's stated that the guy playing the character who was assaulted was quite angry and upset about it in a scene directly after

It's intentionally cheesy. Ex, in ep1, a patient explodes but it's clearly a mannakin. There is a lot of fake blood and body parts scattered around tho and the scene lingers on the patient's severed head (which is clearly the actor sticking their head up thru the floor) as the patient talks with the doctor for a few minutes. So like... Very fake, but also gratuitous enough that it might be too much for some ppl.

In episode 2, the plot is focused around a situation similar to a demon possession but the character is just really angry and has psychic powers as opposed to being actually possessed
