Was watching the first season of Outlander but am deciding to stop after 8 episodes, because at this point it just seems like trauma porn. The violence is extreme and there is a constant threat of sexual assault towards the main character which I'm not interested in seeing (apparently this theme continues across the subsequent seasons culminating in an apparently traumatic season 5 finale). I read a little about the show and why it's so obsessed with sexual violence and while I understand that this is a thing that happens in the world (and presumably happened a lot more in the 18th century), I am just not interested in subjecting myself to that as my evening entertainment.
Am open to suggestions on less gory/violent historical alternatives. Anyone seen Poldark?
