You said: "I thought I would love that show, but was extremely disappointed with the first season and haven't watched much since. I didn't find much substance there are all. Without the sex and violence, that show would not be popular. People who don't like fantasy watch that show – because of the sex and violence. Take it away and the show wouldn't be popular."
Fair enough. I give credit to folks like you who watch a substantial amount of a series before commenting on it. You checked it out, and felt it was not for you.
I respectfully disagree that the show has no substance beyond the sex and violence, though. If you're interested in my opinion, you can read it in my reply to another respondent upthread, I won't bloat this thread by repeating it.
I will agree with you that viewership would drop off if the sex and violence were reduced or eliminated. There are doubtless fans who watch the show because of that. That said, I feel there's much of value in the less lurid content, an intelligent commentary on important issues like power, greed, war, gender inequality, class, and more.
Regardless, I always enjoy hearing differing opinions, if they're respectfully stated and well-written. Thanks.
