I have to spend some serious time in Scotland now, to see the lush but forlorn landscape and hear the bracing Scottish accent. For me, the plot and story line only serve to deliver the costumes, history and landscape. As others have noted, the camera seems to linger on the torture and sex scenes, but one can fast forward through those scenes.
Remarkably, all the main characters have stunning teeth, remarkably straight and bleached white. This is lovingly created fantasy, glorious in costume and scenic detail. Given the level of hygiene all the characters must have been perpetually ill and would have reeked. The show has motivated me to google Scottish history and customs -- and I love when that happens.
