I hear the show is really brutal, but I think that level of violence is also nothing really new within the industry, it has existed for years, and as a TV and movie buff I was de-sensitized to that level of violence/gore/whatever many years ago. Hmm, maybe it's just a level of violence not as common on streaming platforms like Netflix.
My 15 year old daughter suggested it to me. I'm 4 episodes in now and so far it is very well made. The violence/gore is well done IMHO. Definitely bingeworthy.
Supposedly, oneself watches TV to relax, entertain, or any other positive outcome. If you feel stressed or the worst.......bored, well it's not for you. 100% subjective experience.
If it's from the creator of Parasite, I got bored with that one. It's like a monster movie where some characters make always the worst possible decisions and oneself should be entertained when the monster eat them later. This time the monster is not an outer space creature but emotions and lack of control. Cue the credits.
I watched the trailer for it last week or so, and the premise reminded me of The Hunger Games a bit. I assume it's entirely different, though. I'm not big on gore and seeing people get hurt (even if it is just a movie), so I think I'll skip it.
I suspect that's a reflection of the critical response to the two series, the Japanese manga series suffers from weaker character development & less for viewers to invest in apart from the visuals
