ANIMAL CRUELTY

[debree1138 · 4/10 · 15 August 2019]

A pig is slaughtered on screen. Animals are sentient beings. Meat is murder.

Need a reason for a second season

[Bill-412 · 3/10 · 19 July 2019]

First season was interesting and self-contained. Can't see yet why a second helping is needed, we know the characters well enough, the writers need to bring more to the table than we see here. 'They've plateaued."

Unforgivable S02E01

[kessiebear-24936 · 4/10 · 5 August 2019]

I thoroughly enjoyed seasons 1 and was super excited for season two.. until less than 4 minutes into s02e01 I was - without any warning whatsoever - forced to watch the brutal murder of a pig.

Had I had a warning before hand, I might have still watched the episode, but skipped through that scene with the sound off; but now that I have the sight of a pig being barely stunned by a stun gun, and then, still live and able to feel, have its belly sliced open and heard its squeal of shock and no pain, I can't unseen it, and thanks to my PTSD, I'll be reseeing it for years, every time something triggers a similar thought.

I now won't be watching any of Season 2, and I'll no longer be recommending the show to anyone.

Shame on the people who allowed this, and shame on the industry for not having better standards, by including violence against animals on film to have a warning..

Totally unnecessary killing-pig scene - HORRIBLE!

[ellyjung-69127 · 1/10 · 9 August 2019]

It was a truly horrible scene, which's totally unnecessary. I felt sick in my stomach and was traumatised. Don't watch it. And "Writers", you don't have to be so cruel to get the attention. Shame on you!

To the Producers...

[Unknownian · 15 July 2019]

We all know that the carnivores that eat our animals, somehow divorce themselves from the reality that the animal had to be butchered, hung, and sliced, so they can enjoy their disgusting eating habits. However, "most" would not want to have seen the animal they are eating actually being killed. I'll put money on it.

Today, IMDb wouldn't leave me alone with advertising this series. They shoved it down my throat at every click. Can't really blame IMDb, because they've got to make a buck, so they sold you the ad space, and I would be drawn to critique this series tonight. Within the first 4 minutes of this show, I was bludgeoned visually, and the image you forced on me of an animal being slaughtered so you could fill your shock value quota for the season, will forever be in my memory banks as one of the most disgraceful atrocities I've ever seen on television.

In summary, I'll never forgive your irresponsibility and I hope your show fades away like the dust from the stool that will dry after the animal eaters s**t out that poor pig.
