What's wrong with it as entertainment?

No matter what the calm and rational part of my mind tries to suggest, the louder emotional part of my mind is shouting the following:

"""You’re entertained by torture and murder of characters who had done nothing deserving of such suffering."""

That part of me wants to continue with a long rant, but by this point my rational self can sit my emotional self down with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.
