Yeah there's nudity, but that's expected for a movie channel show.

I wouldn't call it a well-produced porn more than I'd call it a realistic look at fantasy.

I personally think this show is great, but that will not help you.

If you are offended by the sex-scenes, you should stop watching, they will not go away. If you are offended by the random killing, that will increase (and based on the books it will happen more often).

It is a complex show, with many characters and schemes. You have to pay attention, to follow the story. The author (George R.R. Martin) is influenced by historical events like the wars of the Roses, and actually I believe this show somewhat realistically a medieval world. Included all the sex and the intrigues and the killing.

Better.

No, the story is really and sex is only a natural part of it. I think you're getting to wrapped up in the sex scenes and ignoring the larger story.

I loved the first season and can't wait for April 1.

As George R.R. Martin is involved in making the show I think they will not depart from the ideas behind the books. Sometimes they may seek another view of the events though.

I found the GRR Martin books to be fairly crappy too (I got up to the point in book 3 when it got to this vomitous scene where it started describing an erect dwarf penis in detail before he was going to rape a 12 year old girl - this turned me off of not just the series, but the entire American fantasy genre.). No memorable characters, and the story seemed to rely on very forced tragedy and trashiness (like trying to be edgey with gratuitous pedophilia) in an attempt to keep it interesting for people who like that sort of stuff. Essentially, whenever something good happens to someone, it always means something terrible will soon happen to that character.

It's the fantasy genre's answer to Twilight.

Yes, it's as good as they say. Best fantasy TV show ever made.

Yes, it's as good as they say.

I'd say stop focusing on the sex scene and realise they're simply a storytelling tool for the characters and to help setup the different cultures. The rape scene for instance becomes especially important for that characters' development over the first season. The first episode shoves a lot of information on the world, cultures and characters; the sex is really only a minor part of it.

I would advise you to read the book first. It makes the show a LOT better. It stops being a flashy disguised porno and actually becomes a fascinating addition to the story.

I can't understand how anyone who hasn't read the book unserstands what is going on, and I am amazed that the majority of people who watch without reading are fans.
