It's a show about family and friends going back to their home Island off the coast of Seattle Washington for a wedding.
The main character is a lady named Abbey. Her mother was killed 7 years ealier by a madman who killed several people until her dad (the sherrif--it's played by the guy who plays bobby on Supernatural) shoots him dead or so he says. One by one the characters are getting killed off.
It a one time deal that lasts for 13 weeks. It is a guilty pleasure. I love the mystery of the who done it but not big on the ick factor.
It amuses me that you don't see being hung or set on fire as gruesome. I know you can't bear to watch gore so I understand what you are getting at with the bloody deaths being worse. I saw the previews and thought the show might be a bit too gory for you so that is why I didn't tape it.
You are right though. I consider the bloody more gory deaths gruesome. the others weren't quite so horrific to me. Plus the woman who was set on fire had gas thrown on her first so she went up in no time flat.
Well compared to One guy getting chopped up by the boat propeller, one getting cut in half, a decapatation, sharp spear like thing falling from the ceiling chopping his head in half, getting harpooned right through the chest, getting a face blown off by a rifle, another guy getting chopped, another stabbing. The adorable geek got it easy he got shot in the leg but it hit an artery and he bled out in just a few minutes. the girls deaths weren't as violent I guess I should say. We are so going to have to get this on DVD and watch it together.
In a preview before the series started I saw the man tied under the boat. I sort of figured out what was going to happen to him. That was why I didn't think you would want to watch it. I thought it would be one of the sort of shows you wouldn't be interested in due to the gore. If you want to watch it on DVD, I'm game.
OMG How could you stop. It's like a bad car accident You don't want to look but once you do you have to watch it completely.
Although the show is sexist against men. So far only 2 women have been killed the rest men. The men also had the most gruesome deaths 9Bloody and painful.)
One woman was hung not too gruesome. The other one was set on fire. But the killer drenched her in gasoline first so she went right up. hehehe
LOL...you ARE right....it IS like a car accident....I just didn`t have the time to keep on watching....and Richard B. was my main reason......though I have to say that being burned alive is supposed to be one of the most painful deaths of them all!!!
I've never seen the Sentinenal. I may have to check it out. You are right about being burned alive. I tease about it because The girls deaths were the only ones that weren't bloody.

If you use this link you can watch the shows on-line. I believe that there are 8 or 9 so far. They are numbered so it's easy to find where to start.
