[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like the show.  I don't think it's profound or insightful or entertaining.  I think it's insufferable.

The nudity is irritating, but I'm irritated by the excessive unnecessary nudity in a lot of shows.

I like Game of Thrones.  I think it's a good show.  BUT I hate all of the unnecessary nudity.

No, I'm not a prude.  I just want to watch a show without constantly having to see boobs and vaginas and penises.  I'm really tired of this idea that for a show to be "authentic," it has to be soft porn.

And yes, I apply that view to all of the shows.

One of the things I really liked about Enlightenment, which sadly was canceled, is that it didn't have any nudity.  It was a good show, and it didn't need nudity to tell a story.

No, I don't agree with Lena Dunham's point, that they were trying to be authentic by showing the characters doing things people normally do.  Everyone poops, but I don't need to see actresses pooping in a show to make their characters authentic.

The brilliance of good art -- in television and in writing -- is that you can tell an authentic story without having to make it like a reality show or, in the case of a written work, include every possible detail of life.[/quote]

Prude.  Probably old too.[/quote]
