HBO has earned plaudits in recent years for its unflinching view of sex, nudity and violence in its programming. This dogged path of realism is refreshing in a time where people will actually complain because Holly Willoughby wore a dress that showed off too much cleavage…Winter is indeed coming if there are people who find that worth complaining about.
Despite the good vibes this has generated for the company and its gritty fantasy goliath, Game of Thrones, it has at points walked a little past the edge of nudity for stories sake and nudity for the sake of nudity. It has almost at times acted like a stop gap for people too morally righteous to watch porn: they can just watch Game of Thrones and call it ‘artistic’.
Whilst I’m no prude it becomes difficult to maintain faith in a TV show when it willfully disregards the artistic merit of its realism for the sake of titillating a few people on the fence about whether they like the show or not; the tactics come down to the same way Michael Bay used shots of Megan Fox bent over to sell Transformers 2. ‘If you don’t like it, at least you get to see some hot people.’
With this in mind lets approach Game of Thrones’ most unnecessary sex scenes.
