It's off screen. Soldier gets a letter late in the show (episode 9?) informing him that his dog died.
You only see the dog in a couple of the early episodes. It's sad. But I hate when dogs die and this was an acceptable level of sad for me.
One of the soldiers comes across a family, a baby seems to be the only survivor. The baby is removed from the scene, however the mother is alive and weak, she gestures for the soldier to kill her however he doesn’t and sits with her until she dies.
Yes, after running out of a cave being chased by a Japanese soldier, the man says he’s sh*t his pants and his comrades all laugh. It’s comedic. E7 if I remember correctly.
Episode 2: just after 14mins in. Leckie drinks from a peaches can, after a few moments, he is looking around for somewhere to be sick. You see and hear it. Lasts 10 odd seconds. Scene changes to night time and is safe from there on.
Episode 3: 13mins in. Very drunk guy getting news he’s won an award and then he is sick in a trash can. You can tell when it’s coming. Only last 10seconds or so.
Episode 5: 25mins50secs. After remi malek offers him a cigarette, he throws up. Only lasts 3 seconds. Sound and slight visual
Throughout the show, American soldiers refer to the Japanese soldiers as many things that I won’t say here, but can definitely be classified as hate speech. But you have to remember that these men are trying to kill each other.
Quite a lot spread out over the show. Its all done very realistically for WW II, but that is still an extreme level of gore. The characters are often covered in blood; soldiers are graphically dismembered by artillery explosions; dead bodies in various states of dismemberment are routinely shown. It is showing the reality of war in the Pacific, and in fact it is probably down-playing the real life level of gore, but it is quite a lot.
