S 2 ep 5 contains a scene of extremely graphic death. One guy has a gun put in his mouth and the shooter proceeds to kill people via the back of his head. In slow motion you witness the physical reaction to the first guy's face to being shot in the mouth, with his cheeks splitting open and his eyes filling with blood, as his entire head is haemorrhaging.
One of the most violent TV series of all time. EXTREMELY graphic bloody killings and carnage in nearly every episode, sequences of brutal torture, dismemberment, massive gunfights and massacres with high body count. Absolutely staggering level of violence, gore and intensity.

The violence is graphic and portrayed intensely and often by frightening individuals. Due to this, some of the violence retains a somewhat horrific quality not often found in action films and shows.
Pervasive extreme bloody violence, terror, and a MASSIVE body count. Often it is over-the-top and unrealistic but still very unsettling and intense.
One of the most graphically violent shows on TV. It contains intense sequences of strong brutal bloody violence throughout including grisly images, pervasive strong language, some strong sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use.
