My Brother-in-Law spoke about this today. When he explained what it was all about, I refused to watch it. I've seen about 1,500 dead bodies in all states - road accidents, suicides etc, in my role as an undertaker many years ago, so I have a strong stomach. But when it comes to animal cruelty, I cringe. What the fuck pleasure does anyone get from this? Sick!
For those (naturally) sensitive to animal abuse they never actually explicitly show the act, more just enough to make you aware of,what's going on. It is definitely a hard watch and I struggled in parts of ep one but it just frames the guy as pure evil and makes you root for the armature sleuths tracking him. Definitely leads to places you don't expect
