User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/My hopes for Howard Overman's writing on his new show/@comment-5102537-20130219110725/@comment-5102537-20130219155134

I have watched some epsiodes and then gave up on it. Totally not my taste, especially not killing characters off all the time when you have started to get used to them. It's too dark and cruel. And Spartacus is even worse and more brutal. Most of all, I'm not interested in the stories of those two shows. If the story is interesting and if it makes clear from the beginning that it's not a fluffy campfire story, I have no problem with darkness and more brutal scenes (like The walking Dead, for example), but I need to get some fascination out of the plotline. Soap operas, schemes and/or simply splatter to round it up is just not what I prefer to watch.
