So, is this show a dark comedy? Like a parody? Because according to the comments, there's an obscene amount of rape.

There is a lot of it. A dude rapes a dude (was a shocking scene and my girlfriend walked in with that scene and was disgusted), a bunch of women get raped , if I recall a couple them of them do a few times. I haven’t watched in quite a while and need to watch the newest season.

I love alot of the show but it’s anchor of these sexual violence scenes do get out of hand at times

Just not the women,but the men and children as well. Too many people have gotten sexually assaulted and raped in this show. People will argue "bUt iTS ACurAtE", like, no, this show is someone's kink

Is it accurate rape was more common in the Era? Sure. Is it accurate that everyone in a family of 4 would be raped in that Era? No. Not at all.

Yet all of those things happened, and usually WITHOUT rape. So, one family suddenly suffering that much assault is a little extra.

Ah I forgot about a lot of it. I took long breaks in between watching.

I do remember people on the show having a problem with the authors writing (since it’s based off a book) and said they found it a over the top. And remember the subreddits and other groups with people sharing that same opinion.

So it’s def the authors kink.

Seriously, just in their family you've got Jamie, Claire, their daughter, their adopted son, and their nephew who have all been raped. It's just way too much.

That scene was rough. My wife covered her eyes for that one. Plus he hammered a nail through his hand before raping him

There's a lot but it only stands out because most shows where rape should be a plot point avoid it lol
