99.9% of Netflix content isn’t outrageous in any way. There’s a lot of attention for letting famous comedians do their usual routines in a recorded special, but we’re talking about less than 10 hours of television in a library of like 20,000 hours of Netflix originals.

You could say that's only because it has become the new norm. The Simpsons was considered to be controversial at first.


'Was', heh. Bart makes delinquency look cool and in the 90s I personally saw a fair few young boys my own age emulating Bart and getting into trouble for it. I think the Simpsons is appropriate for teenagers, but not much younger.


southpark


Certainly. Southpark made a name for itself by being a show kids really wanted to watch although/because their parents really didn't want them to watch it. It's been controversial since it first aired.


And then came Family Guy, making the Simpsons seem like pretty mellow family fare in comparison.
