Good Lord! Why do people love to watch those gruesome shows?
I am defintely out of that demographic loop.
Well, we tend to like choices, right? That’s what friends (and TV Remotes) are for.

Just wait until they show up at your door handing out Hilary pamphlets, you’ll believe then!

I think most of us watch them in spite of the gore.
Unfortunately in modern America, to watch an action or horror flick means that there will be gore involved.
Today the hero doesn’t just wrap his arm with his bandanna when he is shot, instead we have to watch him stitch it up with a needle and close up filming, and someone doesn’t just get shot in the stomach, today we have to watch 10 feet of intestines come out.

Think of it as an allegory about the collapse of the urban welfare state. (Things would get pretty gruesome if the EBT cards stopped working.)
Of surprise to me is the depth of character development. The writers have gone far beyond the usual boob tube fare.

We don’t watch for the gore; we watch for the excellent drama.

Why do people love to watch those gruesome shows? You mean like the 2008 Democrat Nominating Convention? I've been wondering about that, too.
