[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]reviews? is this good? [b]also can anyone tell me about the level of gore/violence per episode? (easily squicked!)[/b]

It looks interesting but I was busy this weekend so I didn't watch any TV.[/quote]
+1 to the bolded part. From looking around online, reviews say it IS gory, but I wish I could have specific reactions from my target demographics: abuse survivors.

If anyone on DCUM is a survivor of domestic violence of just physical violence, your nervous system is probably wired like mine - how do you react to this show? I'm considering watching it but it typically takes me days to calm down my nervous system before watching anything remotely scary. (Yep, being an abuse survivor means living like this. The "cost of repair" is on us.)

I am not your target but if it is helpful I will try to describe the violence without spoilers and say that the violence so far has not been domestic violence type events. The core character is a dad who loves his daughter very much and wants to protect her. There is a scene with a woman getting knocked around but it is more of like...competing crime family violence? IE, there are two factions and they accidentally hit her and then are freaked out that her people will come after them if they let her go. But that is a woman in a vulnerable position surrounded by men.

Beyond that there is a lot of the type of militaristic violence that happens in shows like this where innocent civilians are shot at/mistreated by soldiers. But no r@pe or anything s*xual in nature (so far). I guess I will make a slight addendum that there is a scene I forgot about where one of the zombies 'kisses' someone but it is more like...viscerally disgusting/horrifying way of passing on the virus then an assault? That is all I can think of in addition to the standard like, zombies eating people, gross zombies generally type stuff. [/quote]
thank you! this is really helpful, and not as bad as I thought. this really helps[/quote]

No problem happy to be helpful! I can post a summary like this after this weekends episode too:)[/quote]
