“Because the show is about consent and abuse and victimhood and manipulation, it was really important for me that we partner with RAINN, which is the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network,” says creator Hannah Fidell, who adapted her 2013 film about a teacher's affair with a high school student for FX. "We’re going to be adding cards to each episode before they air, which will include a viewer discretion warning about grooming. And also at the end, point viewers toward resources available to them, with the partnership that we’ve created with RAINN. As a victim of sexual assault myself — although my experience didn’t involve a teacher — I wanted to make sure we got this story right. And we really took great pains when we were writing the show to make sure we did that.”
