I stick with TV-series, and I've never seen an infected file. If I had been downloading software, sure, I would have been slightly more worried, but even so most sites have comments and ratingsystems. Looking at them probably helps you find out if a torrent is malicious or not.
TL;DR-version: In my experience, with some sense, your risk of running into malware in torrents is slim.
