When gore is comic book level (like some of Tarantino's works) I can see it as entertainment. Parts of Django Unchained were awful--what happened to the --and Tarrantino did not show that or it was threatened (yet those were the worst parts.) But when the white slave owners got shot up, it was epic gun battle gore-fest in action packed cartoon style. Like Tarrantino or not, he makes statement with his signature violence.

But it's the torturing and extreme violence of "serious" tv, the dramas, that get to me. Perhaps Hannibal isn't that.
