The brutal violence of The Walking Dead, if this was a movie it would be rated not for kids for sure. Cable thinks they can do just about anything and they can as they don’t have the restrictions of Network TV like ABC. So there seems to be no limit in sex, violence and language.
There is no doubt many kids of all ages watch this show but after season 5 premiere and the shocking brutality of the first 5 minutes of the show there is no doubt this season is taken it to another level.
I was shocked by the sudden brutality, not saying I didn’t watch it I love the show but I was shocked and turned off.
I am a teen but honest to God young kid should not be watching this show, this is what the composer of the theme of the show tweeted out before the premiere.
("Do not let children watch @WalkingDead_AMC tonight. Or ever again. I'm very serious,")
That tells a lot read more @ The Hollywood Reporter.
I wonder when the composer said kids what ages? I mean I think kids under 13 for sure and some may argue not even my age.
So does he mean under 18? that would say I should not be watching, yea that scene was ugly and maybe not needed could have been done off camera, did we need to see that? Zombies getting heads smashed is a bit diff but doing that to people?
The scene was there simply to shock the audience, there are people that eat that stuff up and this commenter is not one I can take it or leave it and I did squirm.
The Walking Dead is a graphic show it takes part in a time where it is survival of the fittest, so don’t blame the show. I however think kids the bare min 12 and under should not be watching the show and if they do the parents need their head examined but it is none of my biz when it all boils down.

In short ABSOLUTELY not!!! the episode was TOO graphic, you need to leave something for the viewers imagination. I am a die hard fan of the show but that was a bit too much even for me and those of you that was not shocked and repelled by the scens in the first 5 minutes well seek some help now.I feel sorry for any young kids that was watching this, they had no way to be prepared for the sudden and needless brutality, could easily have been done off camera. Bash away I can take it.
If you dont like it keep tuning there should be something to your taset on one if the Disney's or Nick. Kids mean like maybe 11 and under deoending on the kid 12 and up can handle the show but I agree the start was a bit over the top I was like wtf?
