The deaths may be intense for some viewers, but their mostly over-the-top and exaggerated nature, as well as the fact that most of the victims are extremely unlikable villainous characters who die as comeuppance for their actions, makes them less frightening.
Rated TV-MA for strong bloody gruesome violence and grisly images throughout involving disturbing graphic accidents and fatalities, sexual content, language and drug material.
The whole show has a seriously warped sense of humor, which can be quite off-putting for some.
If this show was made into a film, it would be rated R for strong violent/gruesome accidents and gore throughout, grisly images, drug use, language and sexual material.
The entire show is extraordinarily brutal, and mostly shows painful and horrifyingly gruesome deaths. It's very similar to the "Final Destination" movies.
