I don't know about the violent porn because I didn't even get that far. First scene, first episode showed heads on a stick on the roadside and I was off

At the end of Spartacus Jean Simmons sheds tears over Kirk Douglas then passes a line of crucified men stretching from Rome to however long it's going to take until they run out of rebels.

Yet they show it on terrestrial TV at Sunday teatime about three times a year. Does that upset you? At least GoT is on a subscription-only channel after 10pm and with an option to block.

I love that dinner party one. Every time I see Jon Snow in GoT I can't get it out of my head. 'The brussels sprouts are amazing. What's this? Pancetta?'

Reading some of the replies I think some people don't know the difference between misogyny and depictions of misogyny.

limitedperiodonly · 28/06/2016 17:29

And the scriptwriters really care about

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 28/06/2016 18:24

I agree, Slarti!
