Are critics of Game of Thrones' sex and violence missing the point?
http://www.npr.org/2015/06/11/413681...miss-the-point
There is a fine line," says Eric Deggans, "between criticizing a show because it is gratuitously violent – especially regarding rape and sexual violence – and rejecting a show because it presents something you don't want to see. Sometimes, I fear, a show dedicated to the explicit exploration of brutality in a ruthless world absolutely must show you things you'd rather not see." PLUS: The problem this season is that female characters became impotent, the book debate is distracting from the TV show, has GoT made Arya incompetent this season?, this has been GoT's most-watched season despite all the controversy, why giving up on Game of Thrones is so freeing, an open letter to the White Walker army, how GoT's sound editor brought the White Walkers to life, inside the music of Season 5, and inside the creation of the dragon attack. |
