When I give a series a chance I will stick with it until something really
dumb happens that takes me out of it. I also find it increasingly difficult
to immerse myself in stories. Somehow I find The Great compelling even with
all of its dumb stuff. I'm almost through the season and I think about the
stories and themes after each episode.

One thing that drives me nuts is that there is a lot of sex, with one
exception all M-F intercourse, and it is almost always fully clothed. There
was a certain sense to it when Peter and Catherine were first married and
it signaled their lack of intimacy. The series is rated TV-MA and I
understand if Hulu doesn't want the level of nudity that HBO has. And maybe
the actors aren't prepared to be shown nude. But two characters can just as
easily be shown under the sheets as fully clothed. Or the sex can take
place off screen and the characters can mention that it happened.
