I don't watch it because the exploitation of sex reeks of sleaze.
It may be well produced, but they know damn sure that a hell of a lot of viewers would not watch the show if the sex wasn't such a big part of it. And "they" being the people who talk about how empowered the women are in the show.

That's my emotional reaction to it.

I like tits. I like terrible Dialog. I like over-acting actors.

DO

NOT

WANT

I let slide the unnecessary nudity and vulgarity - the show had to grab peoples attention somehow - I just think it's a piss poor show. It seems to be made for pre-pubescent teens. There is nothing about it that doesn't make think that this is an adult show and I should give it credence.

I want it to be good. It just isn't. I really don't understand how people are so interested in it. Like REALLY interested in it. I know I've got an unpopular opinion on this subject, I'll be happy if someone can correct me. I WANT TO LIKE IT> I just don't.

If that's honestly all you think is there I can't help you.

Personally I find it a really interesting political drama in a dark high fantasy setting, with interesting characters and amazing visuals. The production values are through the roof, the acting is always top notch and the writing isn't afraid to go places most other shows wouldn't.

Sorry. I'm just being a dick 'cos I can. That show really grinds my gears. On paper, sounds amazing. Just isn't.

I am not willing to listen. I think 25 hours is enough to form an opinion.

Mainly just testing the water - see what people see in it that I don't.

So then why did you even bother asking if you aren't willing to listen?

And I told you what I saw in it, and you called me drug addled, deluded and hoped I was being ironic.

BDA, homeboy's just takin' the piss. I think the spirit here was intended to be more kiddin' around than aggressively insulty.

Ooookay.

Sex and violence sell, that's not exactly a revelation. But in this case, it's being used to sell something which is legitimately good. In all honesty, the political intrigue is far more compelling and believable and (somehow) grounded than House of Cards (US version). Boy howdy. If we're gonna talk about a show that seemingly everyone loves, but actually has a really huge amount of suckage, let's start with House of Cards.
