[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it will do well. People tune in to GoT because it is fantasy that we can get lost in. It is an escape from reality in alternate universe at a unknown time (is it the future? the past? the present?). It is literally an escape from our own f#cked up world.

[b]The series will hit too close to home. It will not be an enjoyable watching experience, as it will remind us too much of the sh#t happening to our neighbors and fellow citizens. That's stressful, not an escape[/b].[/quote]

I kind of felt this way about Handmaid's Tale. It was sometimes hard to watch the terrible things done to control women and their sexuality, especially these days where it feels like we're just one judge away from reversing Roe v. Wade. That being said, I thought it was a very thought-provoking and interesting show, and was on the edge of my seat watching it.

People watch different shows for different reasons - some for escapism, some to be challenged, whatever. [/quote]
