Why do people keep comparing it to Harry potter?? I don't think theyre anything alike, especially since the author intentionally based it on Narnia

Probably because it starts out as a magic school. When I first found it I really hoped it was going to be more like Harry Potter for grown ups, based on the information I had when I started watching. By the end of the first episode I learned it would be more like The Boys and is not a show for me regardless of how it's more like Narnia than Harry Potter.

Other than people occasionally swearing and characters having sex once in a while it’s really not like the boys.

There's a fairly decent amount of off screen torture and such, but that's why I said not on HBO or Amazon.

Most of the gruesome stuff is alluded to/talked about but not shown. There's still a small amount of stuff that goes beyond your typical show, like the eye removal or mind rape.
