Shocking, absolutely shocking, gratuitous & lascivious, debauchery, incest, homosexuality & posseltutes, nudity for the sake of it & the language, even as an ex-Squaddie it made my ears turn pink! :eek: Not your average Saturday afternoon family viewing with Gran or the Parents by any stretch of the imagination.

It's proper train crash viewing & morbid curiosity will keep pulling you back in to watch it, the rise & fall of great families, their desire & ambition for riches, putting it about with all & sundry, domination, death & destruction most horrible & violent, the right to rule. I sat & watched 5 episodes of series 2 yesterday evening. If you don't mind the disgustingnessness mentioned above & you enjoy your swords & sorcery (& can cope with bits flaccidly flopping about blokeys & wimmins) well worth a watch, but don't come back here all offended if it upsets your sensibilities, you were warned! :D

Rating 18+ + +

There'll probably be some of that in later episodes I imagine! :D

Whether you consider that possible or not - watching such violence is not physically harmless, so why do it.

You ain't planning to watch it, it isn't going to give off fumes, it's probably been developed by, the bankers so that they can take even more control of the participants way of life, just put your foil helmet on and you'll be safe.

It's a TV series, I'm a bloke & not averse to some good looking Wench waggling her bits about, not so keen about the tadgers though. ;) As to the rest of it, I believe I have the mental faculty to discern fact from fantasy/fiction, enough to be able to function affably within a civilised society.

Unlike yourself I've not been reclusive & have enjoyed or not as the case maybe the big wide World in all its grime & glory, from the simple pleasures of family, friends & nature, to the depths of depravity that mankind can inflict upon each other (being a soldier afforded me this insight to our darker nature.) But despite it all I'm still plodding along gamely, like I said it's a television series, It's not real & as long as I can make that distinction I think I'll get by. :)

I had already concluded that you are a fan of porn - I also find that primitively distasteful.
