15. Mrs. Aristus and I either tolerate or are repelled by the same kinds of violence.

We both like "The Boys" despite the bone-jarring levels of violence.

We turned off "Utopia" halfway through the first episode due to the revolting violence.

I'm not sure I can explain why the two shows were different in that respect.
