If you saw it, ya don’t forget it. Not physically violent but emotionally gruesome.



From wiki:

Boar on the Floor"
The episode's most widely noted sequence depicts "Boar on the Floor," a sadistic game Logan plays to root out the source of a leak in his company. Roche said that the scene was an effort to "explore how poisonous an influence Logan is on his friends and family, as well as on the world."[3] Armstrong named several real-life influences for the "extraordinary and extreme" nature of the way internal corporate conflicts were handled in the episode, including Sumner Redstone, Ghislaine Maxwell and Rupert Murdoch. Parekh drew inspiration from the Stanford prison experiment, which the director felt shed insight on "how people settle in a habit, and they allow themselves to do things that they would otherwise never do." Parekh noted that certain parts of the scene, such as the actors crawling on their hands and knees, were not originally in the script, and that he had to take care to minimize the amount of discomfort among the actors in filming the "awful" and "gruesome" scene.[2] Parekh added that his intent in filming the scenes where Logan intimidates individual members of his circle was to evoke "the feeling of being called on in the fourth or fifth grade [by] your teacher."[4] Actor David Rasche, who plays Karl, remarked on the immediate popularity of "Boar on the Floor" among viewers, including his son, who played the game with his friends.[3]
