Parents say Kids say Teen, 14 years old Written by Todd. December 19, Amazing for everyone I read A song of Ice and Fire when i was twelve, and have seen the show also. Many people talk about how the violence and sex are unnecessary, but it is not. If you had read the books you would understand that all those parts are necessary to show the relationships between the characters.

George R. Martin also tries, and succeeds, to make a utterly realistic world. In real life sex and violence happen, often with no sympathy at all. This title contains: Positive role models. This review Helped me decide 8. Had useful details 8. Read my mind Report this review. Teen, 17 years old Written by theanonbanana April 1, Great Show Not for kids. Alright- so, being a senior in high school, one could imagine that I have heard at least once well- in my case at least 8 times someone tell me: "Watch Game of Thrones!

It's an amazing show! So- I tried giving the show a try. I admit- I fell in love with the show at first, the characters were so believable, the setting was that of medieval times, the plot so complex - overall, very addicting! I was slightly disturbed by the amount of unnecessary graphic sex in the show- but due to my interest in the plot, I just pushed it aside and just took it as part of the story. Well- I made it to about the 7th episode in the first season until I came to the conclusion that perhaps I shouldn't be watching "Game of Thrones.

Yes- the plot is great, and I was really interested in the show- but I'm going to hold off on watching it until I'm older. It's not appropriate for people my age- parents should think carefully about what they are exposing their children to before allowing them to watch it. Had useful details 9. Read my mind 6.

Teen, 13 years old Written by Lemwell June 3, Your kids maturity matters The show has a lot of sex in season 1, Less in 2, and very little in 3. Think about your kids maturity not their age.

If you know your kid is fine with swarming a lot then ignore that part. I don't aware and I've watched the whole series. And for sex it's because of the books. It's always been really important in the books and for those of us who've read them we understand why it necessary. I skip the sex and recommend that everybody else unless its important does too.

I know many people of all age who watch it and just know that the sex is usually done by bad people. The good people just die. Very realistic amazing show watch ep. Season 2 is just nudity. Helped me decide 6. Had useful details 3. Read my mind 8. Teen, 16 years old Written by Aether August 13, I regret watching this series as a teen under My parents did not want me watching this series, but after being persuaded by my friends to watch, I secretly made it through two seasons before I realized what I was doing.

I would define my maturity level as very high; bad experiences throughout my life have left me with a knowledge of how the general world works.

For this reason, I thought it was fine to watch the show. I already knew how sex worked, I've seen more than my fair share of violence, and have you heard how much my friends swear?

All my friends were watching it and recommended it. I should be fine, right? Yes, I knew that incest played a role in the entertainment industry and that prostitution was simply a sad part of the world, but there's a difference between knowing something and seeing it. I was uncomfortable watching any part that contained such material and for good reason: it wasn't meant for my eyes.

Not yet, anyways. Slowly, I started to realize that I was being desensitized towards this unrealistic image of sex that the show portrayed. That shouldn't be the case for someone my age, and though all my friends were encouraging me to watch it by threatening to spoil it if I didn't, I stopped, and I don't regret stopping.

I do wish I could keep watching for the otherwise quality acting, plot, individual characters, and few good role models, but in a few years, when I've matured even further, I know I'll enjoy it so much more with the knowledge that I'm not doing something that feels wrong.

Don't let your kids watch this, period. I know from experience that it isn't worth it. Helped me decide 3. Here's a first look at the new HBO Max. Why Amazon Prime Video isn't Netflix. The finale, titled "The Iron Throne," broke the record set by last weekend's episode, "The Bells," for which The viewership for "The Iron Throne" includes Sunday night, making it the most-watched telecast in the network's history, according to HBO.

For example, "The Big Bang Theory," one of TV's most popular sitcoms, nabbed 18 million viewers for its finale this week. Season eight of the series is averaging Read More. Sexual violence also is graphically depicted. Skeletons, zombie-like creatures, and dragons are among the show's scary fantasy creatures.

Extensive male and female nudity; sex is graphically portrayed. Adultery, prostitution, consensual incest between adults, and sexual bargaining are themes.

Pipe smoking is visible; characters are frequently depicted drinking excessively and sometimes behaving hedonistically, irresponsibly, or violently as a result. Drugs are used to poison people. Parents need to know that Game of Thrones based on the novels by George R.

Martin is big-budget fantasy series that frequently depicts brutal battles and graphic, detailed acts of violence including those against children and women , as well as lots of nudity and no-holds-barred sexuality. The latter is portrayed in an especially iffy manner, with explicit discussion and depiction of incest, adultery, and rape. Strong language, including "f--k," is frequent.

Although the series is well produced, even the most sympathetic characters make plenty of iffy choices, and the over-the-top content is questionable for all but adult viewers. Add your rating See all parent reviews.

Stark must act as protector and patriarch of his family and the throne itself as threats emerge from both distant lands and nearby traitors. As the series progresses, betrayals large and small change the political landscape of Westeros irreversibly, leading to ever more complicated alliances and plot twists -- not to mention brutal battles and struggles for survival.

As with most HBO series, Game of Thrones benefits greatly from the budget and talent poured into its execution. This is an artful series; the script is intelligently written, the show is well-acted, and the direction and cinematography are easily on par with any Oscar-nominated film. It's easy to get drawn into the machinations of Westeros; the show is compulsive viewing. All that said, there are moments of brutal violence and sexuality that might pull viewers who aren't ready for them out of the narrative.

Certainly Westeros is a dark world inhabited by some very disturbing characters, but the violence is at times lingered upon in a very unsettling way. Although these moments may be mitigated by later plot developments, that doesn't change their impact as they happen.

For viewers who can tolerate these incidents, the merits of the series may win out, but it won't be for everyone.
