You might be quite surprised with my views on this show, I personally think the show is really good and really well told, but I only watched this show once and personally I can only stand the violence and cruelty once. You may be wondering why I gave everything else except the enjoyment and overall a 9 or 10. The fact is this is a great series, but I did not enjoy this series. I don' t think anyone could enjoy it, it has some real painful material in it and that is why I cannot higher the score on this. The music is some of the most beautiful I have heard in a show and the opening with it's latin lyrics and it's beautiful homage to Gustav Klimt is amazing to look at. The character and story development are top notch, so why am I rating it so low.
Bottom Line: There is a scene of Animal Cruelty which really really upset me beyond belief and some of the violence was really really difficult to watch, It was kind of terrifying to watch some of that stuff, I also found a lot of the child nudity to be extremely disturbing and upsetting to watch. Bottom Line, you have to have a strong stomach to watch this show and I didn't so that's why It lost favor with me.
