My local news also did a blurb about the show's content. And then warned people about the high volume of violence, etc... at the tale end of their blurb said that viewer and parental discretion was strongly advised. Just like movies, t.v shows also have ratings people can check. My local cable t.v guide “listing” shows a content rating next to the name of every program. It says what genre, what the show is about and whether a show has violence, nudity or strong language. And how much. And I can make a decision from there on whether to watch a specific show or not. The listing is quite helpful in this regard. I read enough reviews of this series to realize that this was a series not for me. Nudity just ruins the movie or TV show for me. When I watch something I want it to be edifying or entertaining in some manner. Nudity is just a big turnoff. I don't go peeking into people's bedrooms and showers. Why put them on my TV screen?

It's hard enough resisting temptation without extra from the TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need adding that on top of them. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I can maturely 'handle' an R rated movie because I'm an adult and I've heard and seen it all before. That I can internally dismiss the parts I know are worldly. This is probably over confidence on my part. To think that because I am an adult I won't allow myself to absorb the bad stuff, yet inevitably some probably rubs off in one way or another...and time I spend doing this could be time I spend reading or looking at something more profitable.

With love-in CHrist<Kwik Good to see you back. I have gone through a metamorphosis over time. I went from watching R rated movies on a regular basis years ago to gradually stopping them all together. I still occasionally make a bad movie choice and then need to decide whether I'm just going to turn it off or hope nothing else shows up. I don't like to be in a situation where I was pulled into the plot, want to see how it ends and then something totally evil shows up on screen. There is PG-13, MA, R and others. If I'm watching an action adventure movie and it has MA for violence and blood and it's a war movie I might let that go because to have a realistic war movie people have to die. One of my very favorite things to do was watch a movie on Sunday afternoon. At that point I am usually spent if I played on the WT because we had an early rehearsal and it just zaps me after everything is over. I have been in church a half day interacting with lots of people. Maybe serving on the WT. My personality doesn't handle social events long term and needs a recharge. I imagine a pastor would be the same or maybe even more so. It's really a 'work' day for them and some light stress is often involved in all of it. Lately though it's been YouTube or similar most of the time. The last time I tried to watch anything else it was all dark, the surroundings are dark, the people are dark and hope seems to have left the building. I end up feeling worse on a Sun afternoon as a result. I'm not the type who can just go to sleep even when I need sleep, so I often watch something on TV to work into it. It is almost impossible to watch a movie now that isn't disgusting in some way unless you go WAY back to the classics. Pfffffft. Take a hike Hollywood. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
