Not OP. I hate to bring the whole books/TV show thing into it but - The books could possibly be high fantasy? The TV show is pretty trashy IMO. Enjoyable, but trashy.

The books are a realistic portrayl of a country's descent into civil war and the huge toll and far reaching effects of that war. The sex and violence is very much representative of the attitudes of the time that GRRM used as a base - the English War of the Roses. The fantasy elements are the icing on the cake and weaved in pretty well.

The TV show by its very nature cannot portray all of the details that make the books so worthwhile. And when you boil the storyline down you lose a lot of the more indepth stuff, and end up with a handful of awesome characters and a lot of sex, nudity and violence. Plus its HBO, so you also get extra sex, violence and rape thrown in on top.

The show is definitely trashy, but it's also definitely high fantasy. It's arguably more so than the books, since so many of the characters are being migrated closer to standard good/evil roles to account for the inability of the show to get the close-third POV of the books.

High fantasy is a genre placement, not an indicator of the quality of the work. There is a metric tonne of shitty high fantasy out there (and shitty urban fantasy, shitty low fantasy, shitty dark fantasy, etc.).
