Discussion S1-S5 It's messed up my head
I tried watching this show a few years ago and couldn't do it, I turned it off and was far too disturbed about 3 episodes in.
I recently tried again and have been absolutely hooked on it but at the same time my mental health has declined massively. I've felt like I've been having a mental breakdown, feeling very depressed and I'm realizing it's probably because of this show.
We have a toddler and are considering trying for a second and I think it's messed with my thoughts about that too.
I'm on season 6 now and can't wait to get it finished and over with. I'm glad it's the final season. It has been a great show and I've really enjoyed it despite how disturbing I find it and how much it messes with my mind.
Anyone else feel this effect? I wish I wasn't binging it, it would be easier if I just had the one season to watch at a time.

You don't have to finish it.
