I'm not trying to attack the show, I'm trying to get a general feel.

You know Cora's anxiety. This SPECIFIC of stuff (not dark, not people being killed, not the end of the world - that was all fine - but having to play up sacrificing large groups of people to save other groups that we saw THREE TIMES IN A ROW in the opening) really triggers it. It doesn't matter how good a show it is if she just can't watch it. :-/
