In a world mostly wiped out by the plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil, the fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.
This tv show contains 62 potentially triggering events.
A dog fights a wolf off-camera. The dog is okay. There are sounds of the fight and we can assume that the wolf is not okay but he is not seen. Dog returns a hero.
A woman is groomed from childhood, manipulated into sex, sees through the illusion, resists, but is forced while he holds her down and tells her to "shut up". Yeah that counts as rape, and SA survivors need to be aware of the scene.
Okay, this is a stretch but for those who know that the actor playing R.F. is Alexander Skarsgård, his brother Bill Skarsgård plays Pennywise the Clown in the new IT films. A scene towards the end, if you listen closely, RF starts singing in the Pennywise voice. Whether you find this comedic or triggering is, of course, a matter of personal taste, and might be a reach and a half, lol. But I thought I'd mention it because it was very much noticed and discussed with the people I viewed it with.
