Yeah. I think he was pretty realistic in this aspect. The real-world news are usually no better, and it hardly was different in medieval times.
As to the show, it could have toned down on sex and violence. It bothered me a little bit, but not so much I stopped watching. I'm not a particularly squeamish gal, unless it's violence toward other beings than humans. That I can't stand even in small amounts, I feel immediately sick.
