To find Game of Thrones unwatchable?

[Flumpsnlumpsnstuff]

I just can't bear it, DH loves it and thinks it's bizarre I don't. I hate the violence the sickening violence and debasement oh dear I've gone Victorian
I try and go out the room or read MN but he keeps saying "oh you missed such and such do such and such".
Maybe I should ltb
I think the dragons and wolves are pretty though.

[Lymmmummy]

YANBU - 100% with you on that one - cannot see the fascination with it at all😬

[longdiling]

Yeah I agree. I've read and enjoyed all the books but the TV series is far too graphic for me. It's a bit like a cheap porn version of the books.

[Flumpsnlumpsnstuff]

I thank goodness, I thought I was going to be alone and flamed for this

[QueefRichards]

YANBU. I forced myself to watch the first series last year because everyone told me to. With each episode I thought, maybe I'll 'get it' this time. I didn't. It's shit and repetitive and gratuitous. With you re wolves and dragons though.

Programme for male fantasies

[BertrandRussell]

I would love to watch it- but the sexual violence and pornographic sensibility is just hideous.

[Shouldwestayorshouldwegonow]

God no my ds's love it but not for me or the dds.

[LaurieFairyCake]

I look away from the violence - didn't watch any of the Battle of the Bastards scene

[Onedaftmonkey]

Thank u! I thought i was the only one. Gore porn and terrible story lines.

[Flumpsnlumpsnstuff]

Tbh the sex seems to be all punishment so rape then ? How is this ok to watch and as for the violence I gave the bunny extra food after seeing some dogs eat a man because they were hungry last week she's as successful as me at dieting
Btw I just won a £5 as Sil said no one would agree with me

[FlyingElbows]

The Battle of the Bastards was hair raising brilliant. Ok it's not for the faint hearted and the first season is unnecessarily tit heavy (and was criticised for being so) but as a story it's brilliant. I thought it was shit at first too but I love it now.

[Flumpsnlumpsnstuff]

It would be all sorted if they could sit down with a biscuit and a nice cup of tea

[Zucker]

I thought I was alone in this. I can't stomach the violence and gore at all.

[Sweetandsour93]

I completely agree with you OP, it just seems like excessive violence and porn to me. Yanbu, I think it's overrated.

[Griphook]

Battle of the bastards was an amazingly brilliant.
Such good directing.
The story line is pretty good too.

What type of thing do you like to watch?

[LaurieFairyCake]

Yes, battle of the bastards was brilliant - I just put my hand in front of my eyes for the middle of the screen - nothing happens outside the Middle that's violent but I can still watch it

[Janeymoo50]

My wife got up 1 hour early this morning, to watch it. I made her toast and marmalade. It is, even as a non GOT fan, amazing.

[VestalVirgin]

I already found the books too violent and rape-y. From everything I hear, the series is worse with regard to violence and misogyny, so ... YANBU.

Hate the fact that of all fantasy book series, THIS one was made into a TV series. Would have watched pretty much anything else. But GoT? Nope.

Dragons and wolves would be nice, but I can't stand the rape.

[HicDraconis]

YABU. The books were excellent and the TV dramatisation is superb. It's meant to be gritty, it's a really good adaptation.

Bollocks to it being "a programme for male fantasies" - there are equal numbers of women who love watching it.

[MilkTwoSugarsThanks]

I genuinely do not understand how people can find it pleasurable to watch other people inflict pain, misery, horror and suffering on others to the extent that it is on GoT.

[AnchorDownDeepBreath]

It is much less boobs-and-porn this season. Thankfully.

[Flumpsnlumpsnstuff]

I watch all sorts and violence doesn't normally get me but this seems over the top to me. It's like the sickest thoughts of humanity played out with special effects to make it even worse. And I absolutely hate the children dying and getting hurt, it makes me ill. Sorry to all you fans

[Alisvolatpropiis]

The first season was very much tits and dragons, lots of death but it isn't so like that now.

Well, it is still violent but given the context it would be difficult to convincingly do it without seeing actual violence, it can't all be hinted at. Although some is.

[EveOnline2016]

From a historical point most of it is true.

Being born out of wedlock would equal a person a bastard.

I'm only on the first series, but so far I am gripped
