[quote=Anonymous][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]Yes, absolutely. I’m the first PP quoted who said I honestly don’t care and it’s ok for women to like smut. I like the smut AND I like the intimacy AND the chemistry AND the yearning…it’s just a good show. And if some people only watched it for the smut, that’s ok, too. Because we’re allowed to do that without having to explain it. Liking smut is not a moral failing.[/quote]

+1. This show gave viewers continuous dopamine hits in the form of playful banter, yearning, and yes, very hot kissing and sex scenes. The story worked well, the actors are amazing and very attractive too. Other movies and shows in this genre are jammed with filler scenes, uninteresting secondary characters and unnecessary conflicts. No wonder HR has been so wildly successful. It is storytelling in a league of its own. [/quote]
