So far so much gas-lighting

This show has so much gas-lighting, mental and emotional abuse and implied violence that I'm curious why I'm persisting but I'll see it through to find out how they redeem the situation. A narcissistic, privileged guy exploits his wealth and position to stalk and harass a woman apparently well below his class, and refuses to take no for an answer. There's no concept of consent and even when they briefly swap bodies it brings no understanding or empathy.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to feel sorry for the poor rich guy and his toxic family but he's basically just a selfish asshole.
Maybe in the remaining episodes he'll redeem himself like Lord Darcy in Pride and Prejudice but that would require some major plot gymnastics.
