Swamp Thing  is a superhero horror TV show made by DC Universe. The show came out on May 31, 2019 and ended on August 2, 2019. CW bought the rights to air the show for its Fall 2020 slot. Due to CW being a broadcast channel a number of scenes has to be censored/cut in order to get a TV-14 rating and comply to broadcasting standards. Note: When swearing is muted the mouth is blurred I am not going to record every time this happens though.
