From The Frisky:
"Earlier this year,
Vulture writer Margaret Lyons wrote about the difficulty of finding a
television show without rape or murder. She could only count 16
trauma-free series. SIXTEEN. (For the record, a third of those shows
have since been canceled, and “Downton Abbey”
has joined the Gratuitous Rape & Murder Club.) She also found that
constant exposure to rape and murder made her even more sensitive to
them. It’s made me more sensitive to them as well, especially as a
parent."
