In a world where death is finally conquered and people can live forever, a cop (Darius, 120yo) and a young woman (Christa, 24yo) must investigate the mysterious suicide of seven teenagers. With the promise of eternal youth, why would a group of teenagers commit such an act? Was it a cult? A political act? The two will embark on a mysterious and dangerous investigation from which there will be no turning back.
There are a few dogs appearing momentarily throughout the show, all German or belgian shepherds, but none are shown to die. The only thing that comes close is when Christa observes a kind of memorial wall where a chap has a framed photo of all of his previous dogs, Christi counting them as she wanders along, then turning to the live dog that had appeared playfully in the doorway & states '21', indicating the man had 20 shepherds (1 at a time) prior to his current 1, a reality of living extended lives.
Ep. 2 when the police are raiding the place Christa was take to they find a room with a large cage of live rats & butchered rat flesh... no animal deserves that horror
Ep.2 Christa is served up a plate of meat of unknown origins, later when the police are raiding the place they find a room with a cage of live rats & pieces of presumably butchered rat flesh hanging nearby.
It is revealed that the original 7 dead minors washed ashore weren't in fact suicides but murders, as there is some dodgy stuff going on where an organisation (or group?) has been kidnapping minors (under 30's) & murdering some but gunshot to the head & doing weird things (or experiments maybe) to others with the 'regeneration' process whereby they turn into the weird little dead slug creatures.
There's a moment in the final episode where the main character Darius is having a scuffle with his corrupt colleague who tries to gouge at Darius' eyes, but nothing more than a bit of finger pressure is exerted & Darius is able to get up & blink the irritation away, no damage done.
Suicide is a recurring theme (discussed & enacted) of this series in a world where life has in effect become eternal. If suicide is a trigger I'd recommend not watching. There is suicide by jumping from a cliff (with a distant shot of the body at the base) and numerous suicides by gunshot, the worst of which is a scene at the start of episode 5 where a group of young people standing in a circle take part in a mass suicide, shooting themselves in the head.
Not too much. Nothing too graphic shown, sometimes only alluded to. At the very start of episode 1 the main character Darius gets a bit of action in a bar/club with a woman he's just met, then again in the final episode when there is a brief scene of fully clothed oral sex (Darius & his wife) which then cuts to the 2 of them sleeping naked in bed (their bits covered with bedding)
Nothing over the top, only realistic amounts (I'm guessing!) of blood when necessary (such as gunshot splatter, a few arterial squirts and subsequent pooling of blood from a stab wound to the neck). Also a little bit of brain matter evident after some of the suicide shots to the head.
Numerous 'minors' die, but in this series anyone younger than 30 is a minor so most who die are late teens or twenties. The main character Darius has a flashback in episode 4 to when his son died receiving the same experimental 'regeneration' treatment that he himself had just awoken from.
While not used in any fear-inducing manner, insects have become a standard part of the routine diet, even appearing on an old restaurant sign 'specialising in insects' (or something along those lines)
It's a future where humans can live forever & the need for new generations (ie babies/children) is deemed unnecessary. While not gone altogether, the only reference to childbirth is when Darius' wife discovers she is pregnant.
Episode 3 - Christa goes to a shop to buy a weapon, casually checking out several glass snake enclosures & the inhabitants. No nightmarish snake scenes though.
Right at the very start; the main character Darius is interacting with a woman at a bar/club & end up having sex. Darius then has a 'regeneration' session to clear up the claw marks on his skin before returning home to his wife.
In ep.2 Christa is offered a mystery drug in the form of a black pill (kinda like a black jellybean) which she must take to earn the man's trust & further the investigation. The effects are almost immediate & she goes on some sort of trip, coming back to her senses the next morning on a bus. It was a fictional 'methyl-type' drug. Later on she manages to swipe a bunch of these black pills from the police evidence & offer them to a fellow resident at her psych house in return for a weapon. This aside, I dont recall any other drug taking
Not much - ie there's no shoot-out battles, but there are a lot of deaths by gunshot to the head (both self-inflicted & execution-style) & a scene where a lady shoots an officer in the chest at close range (who manages to survive) & a young man in the mouth (who subsequently dies)
