Lots of gratuitous violence and nudity. I like that. The plot seems like it could develop into something.

If the sex is as good in the book as it was in the first episode, I might really like it after all!
But I can't believe that they showed this on US Television! They must have censored out half the show. The US does not have the most open-minded censors. On the other hand, I imagine that the show could well have been sponsored by Pfizer Inc. pharmaceuticals, and made their stock go up 20 points!

It was on HBO, so yes, they showed it. The sex in the book wasn't quite so gratuitous. It was just part of the story. Oh my, though, what a story. I've read the whole series through at least 3 times, except the last book. I've only read it once so far. But then, I LOVE fantasy books.
