I hate when shows split the seasons between 2 years.
Just call it a different season already.

There seems to be a subset of reddit who just decides all shows ended randomly and then pop up when they didn't. This is always the first comment for no reason lol

Ahh, but then they have to pay the cast and crew more

Do you think season 6 will come to Netflix this year? I don't feel like subscribing to another service just for one show.
Valiantheart t1_jdd9ajc wrote
I wonder if they will keep up their average of 0.5 rapes per episode this season too.
cadtek t1_jddbxvq wrote
So 7A this summer, 7B 2024, and 8 in late 2024 maybe?

We fell off the show right after they arrived in America. Same with the books.

How else will they clearly establish who the villain is for that season?

Is there somewhere I can bet on how many rapes per episode I think there will be?

You get a rape, and you get a rape and everybody gets a rape!!!!

Much like Handmaid's last fall, I'm amazed that this isn't even their last season.
Valiantheart t1_jddnee7 wrote
I bet Vegas has good odds. Sometimes its Rapes Per Episode (RPE) or sometimes they save it all up for the end of the season and it becomes Rapes Per Season (RPS).

How is this show doing in the later seasons? Think I stopped when they were in France or something.. probably Season 2, i simply couldn’t find the time to continue

Man, that feels like they've been slacking in the later seasons.

I made it to the americas lol. Spoiler, more rape lol.

Great....a 2 part season that will stretch out 3 years.

Us too. The Caribbean arc. It just got too ludicrous that season. They probably literally jumped a shark.

My favorite was when her daughter goes from Boston to Scotland, then back in time in Scotland, then takes a boat to the Americas, is reunited with her BF from present day who had his own terrible journey to the past, then is brutally raped by a guy that her parents had helped out earlier in the season, then gets pregnant with his kid. This happened in like 2 episodes.
Oh also, her BF that followed her back in time has almost as bad, if not worse, go of it. He goes back in time, joins a crew bound for the new world that is lead by the rapist mentioned above. Finds his girlfriend but then is forced to go back out on the ship with the rapist guy (he doesn't know this dude raped his GF). He escapes and makes his way to his GF's family's house only to be mistakenly identified as the rapist (he was unaware of the rape) and is beat nearly to death by his GF's father and left for dead. Then the Mohawk Indians capture his and hold him prisoner and take him hundreds of miles away. He escapes and finds time traveling stones but decides to stay in the past (wtf?) and is recaptured by the Mohawk where he watches another white guy get burned alive. His GF's family finally arrives to save him and take him home, where they finally notify him of the fact that his GF had been raped by his ship captain that he hated and has now given birth. Oh and the next season he is hung and nearly killed when he's falsely identified as someone else. Dude's life sucks.

Lol that was my last season...glad I didn't stick around to see the poor guy hanged lol.
PooperScooperXL t1_jdeilg6 wrote
the show runners saw this comment and tried to make some changes. Unfortunately, for some strange reason the number of rapes has doubled.
mechapoitier t1_jdejpbq wrote
Thank you.
I watch, or watched that show with my wife and I couldn’t handle how every second or third episode somebody had to have something absolutely horrifying happen to them and be powerless to stop it. And how is it almost always rape? That show is like a nonstop trigger warning.
WaluigiIsTheRealHero t1_jden6jd wrote
O/U 9 minutes before the first rape of the season occurs?
BistitchualBeekeeper t1_jderagt wrote
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.
Andrassy t1_jdeui7k wrote
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.
Andrassy t1_jdeut09 wrote
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.
Skinny_on_the_Inside t1_jdevklx wrote
I had to stop watching this in the first season. It’s just rape porn. No thanks.
newtoreddir t1_jdexzsh wrote
Is the rape coming from the books or are the show runners adding it in to spice things up?
Vandergrif t1_jdezd81 wrote
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.
Valiantheart t1_jdf3k30 wrote
Don't forget after traveling through time and enduring all that trauma the pretty red head still doubted if he loved her at all.
Fanfrenhag t1_jdf4yni wrote
People love to speak of this show as rape and torture porn in such a hackneyed manner, without recognising anything of merit about it. I's rivalled only by The Handmaid's Tale
I find this puzzling because the worst, most impossible-to-watch torture porn I have ever seen is in a show I otherwise love - season 2 of Vikings Valhalla. They literally linger lovingly and gratuitously over torture details...but strangely, nobody ever mentions it
xenoburd t1_jdf58t9 wrote
I watched the first season and had the same thought. I guess it’s still going on huh?
meatball77 t1_jdf5mtk wrote
Now every character will be gang raped because one rapist wasn't enough.
meatball77 t1_jdf5sn5 wrote
It's coming from the books. At least the first couple seasons.
meatball77 t1_jdf5z9a wrote
Then it was a possible rape baby. . . .
meatball77 t1_jdf63mv wrote
The show is perfect if you stop at the end of season two, maybe season three.
meatball77 t1_jdf6jz4 wrote
Oh, but she had sex with the boyfriend and then the rapist within days so it was just maybe a rapist baby.
Later they find a birthmark and decide that it must be the now husband's baby. Then they for some reason decide to stay in the past instead of going someplace where there is hygene and indoor plumbing.
ArmyVet-68 t1_jdf6pn6 wrote
I enjoy the show, but it needs more time travel.
Also, it annoys the fuck out of me that they settled right in the middle of what Claire knows will become a war zone in the near future.
meatball77 t1_jdf6wf3 wrote
That's where the series should have ended, or even better right after she travels back and meets Jamie in the bookshop (then give us a sex filled epilogue where they live happily ever after).
Then it basically becomes fan fiction of iteself. The author should have done a spinoff where the daughter while trying to go see her mother ends up traveling back way to far and meets a Viking.

> Women get raped, men get raped, children get raped,
Well at least the rape is inclusive, I guess. ^s/
DisregardThisOrDont t1_jdf8lnd wrote
His GF’s father sold him to the Mohawk! Which is even more messed up to me lol Poor Roger gets shit for being a terrible character but when you put it like that kinda feel for the guy.
DisregardThisOrDont t1_jdf8qzs wrote
To be fair they did try to go back with the kid but the stones spit then back out in the same time.
Creasentfool t1_jdfays5 wrote
In my humble opinion, this character is among the most poorly written in all of fiction.

Season 3 was actually really good. It fell to pieces when Brianna enters the scene.

Show hasn't been good since they arrived in America... but I've watched from the start so I'll see it through. Even though I don't believe they'll stick the landing, ending a couple seasons before the books will.

I’m fine with the labor getting paid. It’s largely just to space out filming.

The season 5 finale gave me an honest to goodness panic attack. I can’t bring myself to watch season 6.

I have watched all of Hanmaid's Tale and I can give you an in-depth take on why I think it has no overarching vision outside of misery porn.
SlouchyGuy t1_jdgr9jc wrote
I was recommended the series, but then I looked into it and saw the number of books, I'm glad I did. Horrifically overstuffed unending series is the reason I don't any long series anymore, only those that have episodic books, each with an ending.
Fanfrenhag t1_jdgrqvp wrote
I'll pass on that kind offer as it doesn't sound like an enjoyable read lol
NumberNinethousand t1_jdguxhs wrote
Actually, I haven't watched the TV show, but found both books (The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments) to be fantastic in their own right, and I'm not into misery.
meatball77 t1_jdhc2nj wrote
I've become a big fan of romance series where each book in the series has new characters and maybe there's a bit of a story that continues. I'm ten books into a romance series right now and it feels fresh because I get new characters each time. So many writers essentially end up writing their own fanfiction when they can't end their stories.
SlouchyGuy t1_jdhdt4s wrote
Didn't know those existed, a nice compromise between marketability of the series and writing a new book.
meatball77 t1_jdhecsl wrote
If you're in the romance space (as opposed to women's fiction or romantic fiction) it's the norm because a HEA is required for it to be really called romance.
wickedly_santa t1_jdhgm4l wrote
I’m glad this is a reaction I’m seeing to this show - we can never get through a rewatch because of how the misery outweighs the joy by a huge factor. For an adventure romance it’s mostly about trauma, rape, and murder and I think the showrunners might be a bit psychopathic.
IndyRevolution t1_jdhjmqn wrote
I'm just saying that "oh you just don't get it bro" is a hell of a way to dismiss all criticism out of hand.

My wife loved the show in the early seasons but lost interest after season 3 (once the leads got together and she didn’t like the new younger couple). I finished season 5 but didn’t watch the latest season. I do plan to catch up eventually but I’m not in a hurry to do so either
lynx_and_nutmeg t1_jdhu5i3 wrote
Claire even offered to give her an abortion if she wanted to (a DIY one but I mean she literally managed to perform complex surgeries and singlehandedly invented penicillin, so by the show's logic it would have worked and been perfectly safe) but Brianna refused because abortion is bad I guess 🤷♀️
And, yeah, she could have at least gone back to the 20th century so she could give birth without a massive risk of death, but nope.
meatball77 t1_jdhwf09 wrote
They're not even creating it. It's all in the source material.
meatball77 t1_jdhwstd wrote
She loves her war zones. Go back to Scotland Claire. Or move to England, England is safe.

Out of the 7 main character 5 were raped. The other 2 didn't get off easy though, one grew up with a physically abusive father and the other one was severally beaten up and sold into slavery for a brief time.

>but Brianna refused because abortion is bad I guess 🤷♀️
The show really didn't adapt how all the characters are deeply religious in the books. Bree is a practicing catholic who grew up in 50s/60s Boston, of course she'd think that abortion is bad.
Fanfrenhag t1_jdjo384 wrote
I never said that although plenty of people do, which must quite stressful for you lol

People are free to use whatever words they wish to provided they are not downright offensive (and I'm pretty sure somebody saying they don't get something is not in that category)
IndyRevolution t1_jdjx2gy wrote
No, but you're saying "Oh, people just miss the deeper themes" whereas I'm saying that it's a moot point when the show is such a clusterfuck of abandoned plotlines and characters that nothing has its intended effect. It's not deep.
Fanfrenhag t1_jdklf8v wrote
Did not say that either
You love to put words into people's mouths and attempting any kind of convo under those conditions is more trouble than its worth
My best advice for you is to simply not watch it if you don't like it and stop obsessing over whether or not others agree with you

Love the show tho. And I completely understand that people working on it just needed more time. But the final season titles are still funny to me. :p
