Also question is, which is worse R or MA?
TV-MA is a more severe rating than R. TV-MA is the equivalent of NC-17 in the US. Rated R generally means some swearing, violence and minor sexual references. MA on the other hand could mean all of the above plus some very disturbing scenes and images.
No wonder Netflix is often used as a verb ('Let's Netflix something'). 2) Movie and TV shows ratings vary by region. The company uses its own system and for India, you'll see ratings like 'All', 7+, 13+ and 16+ (referring to the age in years). If you have a US account, the ratings will vary for movies and TV shows.
