When there is a profit motive you give people what you can most cheaply produce and still get enough viewers to support via advertising. Then you have PBS, which had mostly pretty boring stuff for those that were interested. It got better as international sources improved. But even then, would a lot of that stuff existed on commercial channels? I loved the series, "connections", but then, I've always been into documentaries. A lot of people are not. I favorite thing is to learn more from the Bible,read the Bible and listen to good Bible studies from certain speakers I trust. Somebody connected me with Rightnowmedia and I'm finding lots of good stuff on there, I'm actually not interested to watch or read much mainstream tv shows of movies,it belongs to the world and I'm not staying here,this is not my home. I do watch now and then a nice older tv show ,right now I'm watching video's from Dr.Jack Graham Just my 2 pennies.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even if it was normalized there would still be people who would not watch it the same as now, so normalization wouldn’t make it any more popular for those already choosing not to partake.

Never saw it, but read articles about the frequent nudity and rape scenes. Very evil and demonic. No true christian asks this question. Anyone who has watched this or even asks this question needs to repent. I seriously question your salvation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure you could find something much better to watch & don't even concern yourself with stuff like this.....If you have access to "Tubi" on your TV (free movies & TV and you neednt sign in-you can view as "guest") they have a nice "Faith" Section with some pretty cool movies & Tv series-check it out!

Never saw it, but read articles about the frequent nudity and rape scenes... In order to compare the two you must at least have seen seen some of both. I'm not proud to say so, but I know from past experience you're absolutely right. In a way GOT is even worse though. Porn clearly is what it is, and you can easily avoid being exposed to it. With GOT you just don't expect it at first, and it seems they try to normalize pornography, incest, sodomy, rape etc. Btw there are plenty of series like that nowadays.

With love-in Christ,Kwik Oh no no I have no interest in watching Game of Thrones. It is just that in one of the small groups I attended they were throwing about watching game of thrones like it is nothing. Which is why I wanted to see if I'm the only who feels it is odd. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
