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.

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 don't know if that link will work but it's Coldplay Game of Thrones musical on YouTube.

Dd usually records it if im in when its on i am always asking whos that whats happening oh they are dead 😊 must be the biggest cast turnover on any tv programme

[Chippednailvarnishing]

That's hilarious.

I watched the first 2 series but found it really boring. Dh is disgusted with me as he loves it!

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]

And the scriptwriters really care about

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

I agree, Slarti!
