Wow! Can't wait!

Thanks for heads up @ClaudiaWinklepanda I didn’t know about Series 2 .

You’re welcome!

Just starting to watch series 1 with my daughter.

For various reasons, we don't watch stuff with sex, nudity or sexual violence in it.

Is this safe?

Thanks.

Have only just seen this post, and although a while since i watched in there wasn't much in terms of nudity / sex.

BUT in parts there is very realistic and shocking depictions of violence and intimidation.

Not done as a gore fest, but trying to convey the reality of violence.

It gets very violent in a couple of scenes. Especially when a parent has to take their son out to be kneecapped - you don’t see much but you know what’s happening. I found that quite difficult. But sadly, it’s a very stark reality and it happens

Thanks. She's fine with violence but is very uncomfortable with sex, nudity and sexual violence because it feels unnecessary and exploitative to her.

We'll give it a go then.

Well seems to me you have a really sensible daughter and great tv watching buddy!

Are we going to do a new thread for tonight?

I think there are already 2 threads, one for binge watchers and one for week by week.

And no reason why if anyone wants to keep this thread going it cant be commented on here!

Found them, thanks!

That was quick, so maybe best to use them. So here they are:
