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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
