What Dark Desire Is

Dark Desire is not a show that incidentally contains sexual content — it is a show whose primary appeal is graphic sexual content in a thriller wrapper. The affair at its center is depicted graphically and repeatedly, and the show's treatment of adultery and obsessive sexuality is never genuinely cautionary — it is aspirational in its depiction of transgressive sexuality.

Proverbs 5:3-6's description of the path of adultery as one that leads to death is not the framework Dark Desire operates in. The show romanticizes rather than warns. Straightforwardly Avoid — 4/100.
