Postponement of Dexter after the Jokela school shooting
After the Jokela school shooting, Nelonen decided not to broadcast a scheduled Dexter episode because the series depicts a fictional serial killer. The episode was postponed rather than permanently removed and aired one week later.
Criticism of sensational and low-prestige programming
The channel has been criticized for a rapid and allegedly underprepared launch and for importing programs described by critics as “trash television.” Particular criticism concerned the 4D documentary strand, reality television and game-show programming, although the channel has also broadcast award-winning drama.
