I watch The History Channel in order to learn about history. I turned off this program because it was a nonstop series of extremely violent scenes of bloodlust and sadism.
The Romans massacred 30,000 Lusitanians. Just say so. There is no need to cosplay each and every murder.
You don't need to show every single stab of a sword, every single lopping off of a limb, accompanied by the appropriate groans and moans. We get it. These were violent people in a violent time.
This sickening, gratuitous depiction of the hacking of bodies is not necessary.
No wonder the world is so violent. No wonder people mow down innocent bystanders with assault weapons as if it was nothing to them. Programs like this contribute to the deadening of the human sensitivity to violence and physical pain.
