I watched the first few episodes, and I thought it was pretty good at first. The setting is also a bold and magical design that I prefer, but after seeing the two episodes in the back, I really can't watch it anymore (spoiler alert). The scene was smashing the academy. It was filmed in Oxford at that time, and it was indeed filmed in the Oxford academy. At that time, I had just finished learning "burning books and ignoring Confucian scholars". I saw the people in the magisterium tearing books and I was about to cry. ...not pretending, this approach is unethical, and one character's sentence "truly valuable knowledge does not need to be protected" chills me. There is also a scene where a young reporter is caught by the villain telling the truth to the heroine (who is a bit of a rebellious girl) and is dragged into a car by the strong male villain. The young female reporter's guardian beast (daemon, bound to the owner's soul, and the pain will be shared with the owner) is a butterfly. The villain said "it's so beautiful" and crushed the butterfly. The young reporter was in pain. The expression and the broken butterfly are also the reasons why I can't watch it. All I can say is that Black Mass is more dark than I imagined, and the way it reflects the dark side of society is too real, which makes it hard for me to rate it.
I'm still putting this show in the scope of what I want to watch. I want to pretend I haven't seen it, even though I'm still giving reasons why I don't want to see it.
