I know that lots and lots of people love this show. In fact, I've heard so much praise that as a tv fanatic, I had to give it a try. So I started with season one expecting to marathon it over the course of a week. But I didn't make it past this episode because the violence against horses, dogs, people and women was so abhorrent it made me want to puke. Okay, I get that CGI did the heavy lifting, but cutting off the head of a horse with the groan and slow descent to the dirt made me sick to my stomach. What's wrong with you people? How does anyone find any of this acceptable in any way? Entertaining in any way? The acting is superb, yes. The costuming and sets are beyond compare. And the landscapes are breathtaking, but everything else is utterly sickening. I watch hundreds of episodes of many shows every year, but this show is like eye candy for sadistic psychopaths. And by the way, if you're interested in the minds of such people, watch Mindhunter. Brilliant without all the graphic animal and human cruelty.
