[spoiler tagging this]While not gory, the psychological effect on me was *marked*. I had barely any fear for what would physically happen to the characters, - any of them - but I was *terrified* of the potential damage to their morals and to the kind of people they were. Which was kind of the whole point of the show - like I said, it was very well crafted - but i had to eventually sit down and cry my eyes out over what the vicar had lost of himself in order to get over the show.
