Honestly the first season was borderline torture porn for a solid chunk of it, it actually cleared up quite a bit after that - which is really saying something because again, still a surprisingly large amount of rape.

I think we'll see more of the Willow IP on Disney+, but as for a S2 who knows.

My guess is that its strike related. Gotta stretch those subscriptions out and if theres suddenly 3 months where they cant even shoot stuff that will eventually cause a serious gap in their schedule.

My copy of "Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter" has been read so many times the pages fell off the spine. This dude was my hero at 12-13 years old. Very sad to hear he's gone.

Given how close to the original release date it is (4/26), it seems odd they'd just be realizing now that it needs another three months.

Is the rape coming from the books or are the show runners adding it in to spice things up?

The original date was always a weird one as it would have missed Emmy qualification under the new rules. They were probably trying to squeeze it in before so it qualified but with the eligibility change they had leeway to shove it back a few months into the next Emmy window. They are pretty stacked in terms of volume over the next few months. They hit 8 concurrent shows at one point which will be a new high for the service!

Think it’ll be racist Elmo, filled with rage at being born, that does him in.

Because modern plane frames are made of mostly aluminum, steel and titanium. The kid's body doesn't have enough of that.

Ugh - musicals are the worst IMHO. You can have them!

I remembered one more - Thank you for being a friend - theme song for the Golden Girls! Totally one of the best.
Also loved the music before Mad Men.

I had to stop watching this in the first season. It’s just rape porn. No thanks.

Wow, this guy was THE writer of my childhood television. And he worked on the 02-03 He-Man too...I really enjoyed that show even though I was in my 20s by then.

Wasn't there a big gang rape recently? Does that count as a single rape? I think it was Season 5. And god knows how many rapes there were in season 6.

This show is bananas. A very significant percentage of the main cast has been raped. Women get raped, men get raped, children get raped, it happens several times each season. I stopped following the show because at some point it's just too much, and apparently I missed a huge gang rape scene in the Season 5 finale? Thank god.

Sometimes they milk it. Understandably, since everyone wants to keep working. But your burnout might be a result of that, at least in part.
TWD milked it, GoT milked it

My mom and stepdad used to listen to the audiobooks for this series every day, even while I trapped in the car with them. I was an elementary schooler and it was the 90’s, so I didn’t have my own music to block it out either. I’m pretty sure I’ve still got some emotional damage hanging around from all the rapes in these stories.

i started watching as a hatewatch series. then first half wasnt that bad but big twist was s obvious. second half after they solve the big mystery it got boring. it fastforwarded it to finish it. i dont recommend it.
so if you didnt like first half, second half was worse for me.

Yes, I got bored too before it picked up in the episode 6 onwards.
