Apple TV+ App - Parental Controls for TV Shows not fit for purpose in UK?

I have got the Apple TV app running on an Amazon Fire TV. I have attempted to set up restrictions so that my youngest child could not access age-inappropriate content (both TV Shows and Movies).


The restrictions for Movies works as expected - when you try and open a Movie with a rating above the restricted level, you are prompted for the passcode.


For TV Shows when you try and set restrictions for the UK, you are only presented with 'No TV Shows', 'Caution' or 'Allow all TV Shows' as the level of restriction. It seems that the only rating of TV show for UK audiences is 'Caution' so in practice, this means that either all TV Shows are blocked and do not appear in the app or all TV shows are visible without requiring the passcode.


I have tried setting my region to US and selecting the appropriate restriction level (as TV Shows have multiple levels available), but this does not work (possibly because my account is UK registered).


Has anyone overcome this problem?
