A new Irish drama called "Normal people" is getting rave reviews in many countries. I hadn't watched it but heard what it was about. During an ad break last night I flicked over to watch it for 2 minutes. It showed two people walking down the street hugging and then cut to a sex scene. It was fairly intense, close up shots of them etc. I watched for about a minute and it was still going strong so I switched off.
I just don't get the attraction of watching two people pretending to have sex. I can understand people watching pornographic films, its people actually having sex, its graphic and people get turned on by it.
But watching orchestrated scenes of pretend sex??
I feel the show has a bit of the "Emperor's new clothes" about it, like people feel they should like it because they are being told its trendy and popular and we should all be keen to watch people having sex.
I read the blurb of the book and while it seems an interesting story, I don't see what constant sex scenes offers to it.
Anyone care to share why they enjoy this kind of show!
