One thing that "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter has always had in his TV shows was true-to-life content. That being said, his upcoming show on FX, "The Bastard Executioner," will be set in the middle ages, and like all executions, punishments and torture, it will have a brutal theme with some potentially disturbing images.

According to Deadline, "The Bastard Executioner" will take place in Wales during the reign of King Edward I. This is a time period in which the country was know to have taken a "zero-tolerance" policy for crimes against the state and religion.

Sutter fielded questions about the show during the Television Critics Association conference this year and gave fans a little insight on what to expect from the notoriously gritty TV producer.

"I think my mandate, as it was on 'Sons' and it's the same for ['Bastard Executioner'], was that the violence, as absurd as it could be sometimes on 'Sons,' that it always came from an organic place, and that it was never done in a vacuum," Sutter told the TCA audience. "Meaning that to every violent act there are ramifications... yes, it's a medieval setting, and there are laws in terms of punishment that were brutal and heinous. [But] that's a reality of the world."

But he also said that the story is what matters to him. He wants the audience to see the conflict of his characters so much that if the violence becomes overly gratuitous, he will tone it down just enough to make sure the characters' struggles are seen.

Although the series title is premised on the notion of violence, Sutter is more inclined to tell the story and show the internal conflicts the characters go through. He said that it is essentially what the show is all about, with the violence being a secondary theme that influences and drives the characters' personas.

"So I feel like the other scenes in the pilot portray emotional conflict, portray moral conflict, spiritual conflict."
