Violence & Gore
-
- A man and woman are thrown out of a vehicle .
- A man struggles with another man for an envelope. As they struggle, the other man shoves him and the man grabs on a machine, the machine then crushes his fingers and blood can be spurting out everywhere. Shown extremely quickly.
- Bodies are shown hanging for all the contenders to see.
- Organs are removed from some dead bodies. Shots showing eyeballs, a heart and other organs are clearly visible, though only for a few seconds.
- Every episode contains bloody shooting, sometimes at a point blank range. Frequent fighting, sometimes with weapons such as small knives or metal bars. The characters cannot clean themselves up after these fights or games, so any blood on their faces or clothing remains there.
- A man is stabbed to death on a bridge, blood is seen and the scene goes on for quite some time. The man's killer then jumps off of the bridge into the water below.

- Graphic Violence Throughout.
- EPISODE 1(LEVEL OF VIOLENCE:8/10) At the end of the episode people who lost the first game are brutally shot and we see everything followed with explicit bloody sprays, also in slow motion. A man is punched in nose, resulting in blood

- EPISODE 3(LEVEL OF VIOLENCE:7,5/10)People who lost the game are shot and a medium quantity of blood spray, milder compared to green light, red light. A man is shot in the head and we see the blood trail; disturbing
- EPISODE 4(LEVEL OF VIOLENCE:9/10)By far the most disturbing episode in terms of violence: organs are seen in a explicit scene, people fall to death, get stabbed, kicked and beaten to death. The riot scene has strobe effects, so the details are hard to be seen.
- EPISODE 5(LEVEL OF VIOLENCE:8/10) Two men are shot in the head, blood is seen and organs are seen during the cirurgy process. It can be gross to some people, but not as explicit as the episode 4
- EPISODE 6(LEVEL OF VIOLENCE:7/10) The less violent episode of the show, but the saddest. People get killed by masked soldiers but the takes are fast and it looks like a PG-13 movie
