I remember watching the first episode when it premiered. Didn't really strike me as something I would go out of my way to watch, but I've caught all the episodes as they re-ran. It's a pretty interesting story and it does a good job of drawing a lot of parallels to real world issues. It's just...there's so much damn sex interrupting the plot points. I know that's one of the main themes of the show but some episodes would make Heidi Fleiss blush. I was a big fan of Rome and I thought that was over the top, but this is some wild shit, and from what I understand HBO is actually pressuring the producers to throw in even more sex. Now I'm not a Mormon or anything so it's not like I'm offended, but damn when I wanna watch people fucking I'll put some porn on. I guess in a nutshell I want to like the show, and the concepts interest me, but every time I watch it, in the back of the mind it feels like HBO is making money pandering to me. I'm a weirdo go figure.
