The series largely tells the story from white male perspectives, although a few episodes have featured female protagonists, and a few others have not featured particular protagonists. Women are occasionally featured as villains, and frequently featured as victims — numerous stories featured intense and graphic violence against women. The premise of the series is that the directors are given free reign to do as they wish without censorship. Some use this to be blatantly political (Homecoming, Pro Life), but most merely grabbed at the opportunity to show more breasts (full frontal male nudity was prohibited) and gore (as long as it was not child-on-child violence).
