In GoT when the good guys died, and you have to hold all the anguish, pain, sense of helplessness, tantalising urge for revenge. Sit there, watching the gorish scene unfolds, sometimes slowly and with some perverse sense of twist. The bad guys died too, but they don't receive the same on-screen treatment.
Some medieval cuckolding and brutality are lavishly provided and served in an intricate plot too, to give it more modern view on historic times.
