Is this show the kind of scary that involves the viewer being startled? Because I HATE that--it's the reason I don't watch horror TV or films, even though I like written horror fiction. I can watch most gore and violence, but I can't stand being startled.

I think that filming a rape scene from the victim's viewpoint is quite brilliant, and should always be used if a rape scene is necessary. (Though I suppose if the rapist is otherwise the viewpoint character, it would make sense to keep the rapist's view.)
