to think there's a mad amount of violence on Netflix?

Maybe it's my algorithm, but I don't search for or play particularly violent drama or film.
I also use Amazon prime and Britbox, YouTube, etc, and there's a marked difference.

Around 8 out of 10 series or films I start watching on Netflix pretty much explode into heavy, gratuitous violence or some sort of animal cruelty, violence towards women. Whether I'm looking for something apocalyptical, or a mystery drama, a crime procedural or something international.

Maybe I ought to stick to studio Ghibli or just comedy or something, Jesus Christ. Grin

You can rate things down or up on Netflix without having watched them, and this does change what is suggested for you. Got rid of all the rom-coms for me.

Not for me! But I’m a Downton Abby/ heartland/ Anne with an E sort of viewer Grin.

yeh, ok , it doesn't exist, like there are no articles online whatsoever pulling up Netflix and their problematic violence towards women shit, I'll just toddle off to Mary berry land now and polish my naivety.

No one is saying it doesn't exist. But no one is providing any titles. My personal recommendations will be different, but trending in UK should be the same? Or not?

Btw Curon wasn't bad if you want your search get something extra into the algorithm

Well, firefly lane for example. From the advertisement I presumed it would be a sort of light drama about two old friends supporting one another. Second episode opens with a rape scene.

Tiny pretty things I thought would be a ‘teen’ type show set in a ballet school, featured quite a bit of sexual violence.

Lots of others I can’t think of, but it’s not like I’m out here watching criminal minds and shocked at the violence, it crops up in shows that you wouldn’t necessarily expect.
