I'm really psyched for this!! The novel was awesome, and whoever they've got doing the cinematography on the adaptation is

looks cool, but yea 5150, I agree. The shows on Netflix are awesome. I know there are all different types of people watching and they want a character to relate to, but shit.. chill on the gay sex scenes and all the other agenda pushing stuff that sticks out like a sore thumb. Most of it is awkward and just so out of place it seems to ruin everything.

Yep ,majority of their content has to have at least one gay human, house of cards,spacey character was pretty believable though

I think shows in general will have, at the least, one gay dude 
Whatever...the media is a reflection of society, and not the other way around.

Sex scenes are pretty annoying in general. If I want to see sex, there is porn. I guess it's just me getting "old". Most of these kids growing up today won't think a thing of it.

I agree wit that, sex scenes are a fucking snore. Its just time filler and an annoying one.

I think being homosexual is a choice or psychological issue that has much more to do with society/culture/ upbringing than genetics.

I hope they keep it as gritty and dark as the books are and don't leave a lot out or change much, and they better not leave out the tetrameth.

Lol homophobes are such fragile people. I think besides a few that are clinging to religion, most vocal homophobes are just massive closet cases.
I guarantee, one or both of these guys will be a flaming homo in ten years.

How was that homophobic or fragile? Projecting much?
Was ancient greece somehow all genetically gay?

I have not seen the series, but what are some examples of content that you enjoy? Just curious.
