.....so I sat down with about zero familiarity of the series, aside from the romance and historical aspects, and honestly, when the "sexual violence" warning on Netflix showed, I should have probably chosen another show. I think my brain went - well, maybe it's just here or there. Oops. Nope. It's very frequent. And this isn't meant to be a moralizing thing, it's just - it's very very frequent and it wasn't until I was a number of episodes into season 1 that it became apparent that this was part of the story writing, and that it was very much adversely affecting me. I love the actors and I think they're great, but the story and how it's written just - it's too much for me. Also, as someone who had to give up alcohol, (again, this isn't moralizing, it's just a warning for folks considering sitting down to watch this), I could not help but notice that alcohol features a lot - again, this is a story and history and what-not, but it could be an issue for some folks.
