Man, I need to try to see if my anxiety would let me watch this. I loved the original, and I'd like to see how this one handles the pheasant episode. That's one of the few parts I can remember vividly. I'd really like to see if it's as gut wrenching as the first time.

I didn't realize this was a reboot. The first episode was, uh...something. The soup was definitely not easy to watch.

It's the reason I won't watch. I don't need to see a visceral human soup scene.

If nothing else, take comfort in the growth of society since the time being depicted. Most places wouldn’t, uh, make human soup nowadays. So that’s nice, anyway.

I found the first episode to treat the gore sparsely. The soup part is mostly off camera or blurred and suggested. The didn't linger on it like the Indian Jones face melting guy. I thought it was tastefully done, if you'll pardon the pun.
