It's like a extended universe blockbuster, but bigger and longer and more self contained.
Once you start a season, you'll want to watch till the end.
There's some more gore later on, but honestly, it's well justified (if anything, it's still easier to get through for me than cringey stuff - not that this has any).
If you like analysing thing, your brain will definitely go into hyper drive as things are teased and such.
