Trauma survivors have a deficiency in their capacity to regulate emotions – they’re too prolonged and too intense and too negative.

‘Luther’ is absolutely a monster-of-the-week show.

‘Scream Queens’ was so much fun, kind of like a big sorority. And ‘American Horror Story’ is very serious, like a really hip family of middle-aged women. The deaths were fun on ‘Scream Queens’; the deaths on ‘Horror Story’ are very real and intense, and you have to be emotionally prepped for them.
