[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don’t care how the show would’ve been received (or not) if it didn’t have smut. The fact is, it has smut and we like it. And that’s not something women need to apologize, justify, or explain. Newsflash: women like sex. Many women even watch porn. Gasp! Get over it.[/quote]

Exactly. Not sure why posters are trying to insist the sex wasn’t a big part of what made it popular, or that it wasn’t central to the show, or that it isn’t smutty. It is all of the above and nothing wrong with that.

Tierney did an interview where he talked about how the show was written around sex as the sex was used for communication, to build intimacy, to show vulnerability / honesty and was the core of the relationship between the two leads. People who don’t get why the sex was needed in the show and so central to it missed out on 90% of the show! [/quote]

I think it’s because there are so many people reducing the draw to JUST sex/smut. [/quote]

+1. I’m the one who linked the deadline article. It sounded to me like Hollywood execs think what people want is smutty shows where people get it on in the first 5 min. Of course women like sex— but that’s not what has turned this show into a global phenomenon?? As PP said, most of us can access porn any time we want. Why don’t need to pay HBO for it. Good luck thinking that making a show with lots of sex but with a bad script/direction and poor acting is going to get the same result.[/quote]
