TVB's controversial series When Heaven Burns broadcast a scene relating to cannibalism. The scene was to explain the young versions of Moses Chan and Bowie Lam's characters having to debate on eating their deceased band member. The scene showed the young version of Kenny Wong, cutting up that deceased band member with a knife. The blood splattered over the tent and soon after, the following scene showed Kenny cutting a salmon. Bowie felt unwell after eating congee with grounded flesh in it, while Moses ate a bloody piece of beef. Many Netizens felt the scene was disgusting and wanted to vomit. The majority said the scene was unexpectedly horrifying.
The Broadcasting Authority received 8 complaints on WHB's episode 2, which aired yesterday night. The complaints were on the immoral content is a bad influence on children and shouldn't be broadcast during prime time. Many were displeased by the cannibalism element, that the storyline is terrifying and there are too many bloody scenes, which is too disturbing.
