Sex vs Violence

OZ is one of my favorite shows of all time. It had more graphic nudity than GoT, and as much violence as you could put on a show of its nature. Guess what? Those elements were not the actual focus of the show, it was the characters and the stories.

GoT, on the other hand, has 5 minute-long lesbian sex scenes that serve absolutely no purpose in any way shape or form but to make teenagers horny. And yes, its violence is ridiculous as well. There is no purpose in the bluest of blue hells served by watching an animal get skinned alive for 5 minutes. Nothing. And all the storytelling on the show, all the plotlines pretty much come down to "let's find new shocking ways in which character A can backstab character B in the back." That's it. It's empty and shallow.

OZ is an example of highly mature entertainment that at the end has a strong purpose, a moral, a driving narrative.

I had assumed, based on your evident revulsion at the Game of Thrones series, that you would not have endured viewing much of it. This latest comment seems to suggest that you're watched more than a little of it, and are familiar with events depicted in it.


I've watched the series twice now, and have to admit that I still can't quote it chapter and verse. Could you help me by specifying when the 5-minute long lesbian scenes happened, and which characters were involved? I can only recall when two of Baelish's staff were being coached by him in how to feign ecstasy for their tricks. I thought it was more humorous than erotic. The only other liason between women I recall was Dorne's Ellaria being shown briefly in bed, but certainly nothing graphic or prolonged. Refresh my memory of the scenes you're referencing, please. 

I never got into OZ. Maybe I'm missing something. What was its purpose, moral, and driving narrative which made you a fan? I'm always eager to find something good to watch. Thanks!
