I wanted to like this series but the extreme violence, rape scene at the end of season 1 and the unnecessary over the top sex scenes just ruin the enjoyment for me. I am very disturbed be the end of the season 1 with the detailed and and graphic homosexual rape scene, and am still having ptsd from what I saw. I tried to fast forward but can’t unsee what was shown. This show makes me feel like I’m watching a porno.
I wanted to give the series a chance and have stopped watching at the end of season 3 as I just can’t handle the content. I wish I would’ve stopped watching sooner. As much as I would like to continue I just can’t as the show makes me feel dirty and gross watching all of the grotesquesness that doesn’t need to be in the show. I think the historical aspect of the show is really what makes it interesting but adding in so much sex and nudity, is just ridiculous. Why does there need to be women’s breasts exposed in every sex scene plus in other random scenes? And you can’t prepare for The sex scenes as all of a sudden BAM, in your face there’s no way to know when those will happen. It makes it very difficult to enjoy watching a series that has left me feeling very disturbed and also where’s there’s constant nudity and sex happening throughout every episode. Bummer...
