I'm not saying it's not great, but it's hard to sit through 10 hours of '12 years a slave' level torture & cruelty. I get it happened, but it's impossible to enjoy watching that kind of stuff over & over again in a show, even for a hardcore horror fan like myself. I'm just now in the middle of episode 3 (by fast forwarding most of the torture stuff in episode one because-come on now). I'm hoping it gets less depressing & more about Cora's discovery of herself & her physical journey to actual freedom (not just more & different types of torture by white men). I'm sure it's a great series, that I don't doubt, all I'm just saying is it's hard to stomach. The feelings of guilt you get watching it just knowing you're a white person is difficult, even if I'm not a man, is difficult. I get the need for showing it this way, but time & time again, one person can only handle so much before saying "is it really necessary that I watch this, or am I just torturing myself for no reason?" When viewing is no longer enjoyable what is the point of putting yourself mentally (thankfully, not physically) through it all. Sometimes you just don't feel like subjecting ones self to10 hours of depressing ass tragedy at every turn. Hopefully it gets more interesting....
