Yeah, when A Game of Thrones characters can look at the interpersonal relationships on your show and say "Who could be that dysfunctional?!?" you know you've got a winner.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They still can't go as far as the pay cable stations.
Depends on how you define "far". I haven't seen anything on pay cable that disturbs me as regularly as this yet.

Because books.
Honestly, it's probably more focused on nudity level than the violence.

And just sheer creepy. Things like "baby needs colustrum!" stick in my head longer (and more grossly) than any dismemberment or nudity on True Blood. Never mind the skin suit visuals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's just boobies and the F word, at this point, no?
Amy, I was just going to make sure you were watching this! Dear People of the World: DO NOT MAKE A ZOMBIE BOYFRIEND!!! It never works out.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
So, if I bailed on Season One after 2 episodes, would it be worth it to try Season Two or Three?

Right?!
Oops. Prematurely hit Post. quester, it depends why you bailed. If you didn't like the characters or setting, it's completely different every season. If you bailed for the violence or disturbing stuff, you're probably better off not watching.

Quester, if you didn't like the craziness, I wouldn't bother. If you didn't like the content and/or Dylan McDermott, give it a shot.

I'm liking the campy style a more this season. Last season was just too much of a hodgepodge of WTFery that didn't cohere, and Season 1 had almost no characters that were enjoyable to watch (Jessica Lange's was about it). While I don't care much about what's going on with the younger characters, Lange, Kathy Bates, and Angela Bassett are electric for every minute of their screen time.
