Good grief I am tired of Outlander's dark gloomy violence.

14. I've only read the first book, getting ready to start the 2nd.

I guess such dark violence is easier to read than watch. The toughest parts I could read through enough to get the drift, but still get the essence of the characters. So I guess I did not pay as much attention in the book, but the way it dwelled on the violence and humiliation on TV got to me.

I was looking for that interview I mentioned in the OP, didn't find it. But I did read that Sam got drunk to get through those scenes. Much of the crew stayed away.

Sometimes I wonder at what price someone must get across their view that violence like that exists? I really do wonder at the need for it, other than it's what Diana G. wants.
