It's just hardcore and adult for the sake of it. Yes it's my opinion and preferences but there's too many adult fiction shows like that where everyone acts tough and all sex is super aggressive.
But Kotow is right .
Not really a movie opinion... but I started Game of Thrones. I'm 5 episodes in and I am bored out of my mind.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I've read all the GoT books, and TBH it annoys me a little that the, er, scenes you refer to seem to be "amped up" for the TV show. In the books those types of scenes were not as frequent, or as graphic.I'm not sure there's a need to take it as far as they have.
That's my plan. Don't get me wrong, the writing is good and the scenery is cool, I'm just not getting hooked. I don't really find myself caring about anyone other than Stark, and that's moot because I know his head is getting chopped off any minute now.
There are certain times where I really want to recommend a show or album or movie to one of my friends but end up not because he usually has a similar reaction to Chino's GOT's one and it's almost always because of hype. Not saying you are, Chino, but my friend tends to go in almost wanting to hate it because of the hype and usually forces his preconceived opinions to become true.This is more of a rollover from a debate we had yesterday where he basically declared how overrated GOT is despite him not watching more than a season and expecting some kind of a pat on the back for his "bold" opinion.

You may as well give up now.
which part ? The fact that it doesn't interest me ? The fact that it's an adult fiction show involving dragons or several shows I've seen with my eyes are exactly as I described ?
Those are big things. May the Force be with you.

It seems you just don't like over hyped things, which is fair imo.I didn't. I gave it a legitimate chance though. I watched Episodes 4,5, and the majority of 6. I mean, I'm not calling it shit or anything, but given the fact that I didn't watch it until the age of 26 in the year 2015, I'm not surprised that it didn't blow me away. I think if most Star Wars fans saw it as late as I did in this era of CGI and special effects, they'd feel a lot like I did.
I am late to the party on Thrones, Never paid much mind to it. Started it last week and got up to season 2 ep5. Kept saying to myself it will get better. Then went outside and poured salt on a slug in my yard. watched that, Then painted my hallway and watched the paint dry. The last 2 beat the 15 episodes of Thrones
-Terminator 2 is the best sequel ever that I can think of, off the top of my head.
