Samurai Jack

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Lots of what looks like people getting stabbed with plenty of bloodflow. That's new.

It's a hell of a show. Quite violent, but they got away with it because he was always hacking up robots and demons.

It's very "artistic", but in a good way.

It's on Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/samurai-jack

Netflix has the DVDs.

I think this is a fairly comprehensive sample of what to expect in terms of how it tells the story, given it's brevity:

Watched ep XCII. Holy fucking hell, this show got dark and violent.

Weird black magic ritual involving live birth on an altar to demon-spawn while a creepy-ass gong is ringing? Check.
Said demon-spawn raised in perpetual and visceral child abuse? Check.
Dude getting stabbed in the eye just offscreen with his own arrow? Check.
Jack going Road Warrior-style insane? Check.
Full-on bisection of a, for all intents and purposes, human being made of metal, wire, and oil instead of flesh, bone, and blood? Check.

My DVR is picking it up but I've only watched the first one so far. I'll get to it eventually. :P
