The Couple Next Door on Channel 4 received a caution for strong language and surgery scenes, which seems unwarranted since surgery is integral to the story due to the characters’ professions as surgeons and anaesthetists. This points to a growing trend of excessive trigger warnings in television media, suggesting such labels are becoming increasingly frivolous and disconnected from the actual content of programs.
The first episode of The Couple Next Door features strong language and surgery, which is to be expected given the central roles of surgeons and anaesthetists.
Trigger warnings in media have become increasingly unnecessary, as demonstrated by the overly cautious label on The Couple Next Door, given its subject matter.
