*I do a lot of speculation in the commentary, but please remember I don't want any of the answers! 😜 With one exception, though - just how gory is the rest of the series?

Hard to say. I guess since im a gamer the stereotype of me being desensitized to violence is true? Or I just have seen far worse at this point. I found Robins death to be rather tame visually a bit of flying bone and just a big floating puddle of blood due to the slowmotion. Perhaps from having seen Dexter, Game of Thrones, Spartacus I am used to worse. I dont believe any of the bad moments linger too long. Not like the poor spacewhale thing from torchwood anyway. I would think you managed to get through the worst of those episodes this wouldnt be too bad?

It actually ramps up a bit in seaso 2. That said, the performances and dark humour more than compensate. I think you would love the show - just have something handy to cover your eyes from time to time. 😱
