Oh, if you're talking about major characters, I definitely agree with you. But I thought it was nice seeing prostitutes of all shapes and sizes bouncing around the brothel, including a couple who were medium build like me and even overweight! Normally, it feels like if you're above a size 2, you can't even be an extra in a show.

It's not perfect, but it's still better than any other show I've seen. Do you have any recommendations for better shows?

Yeah, but that is the difference: only those who are bouncing around "are allowed" to show variety of different bodies. Mind you if they would cast a female main character (which has to got naked) who doesn't look like a model.

I don't have any recommendations because the shows (I don't have pay-tv) I normally watch don't have tons of naked people in it (and I hate it when they throw naked people/sex just for the sake of getting more viewers in). And yes I like it better that way because there I can at least imagine that some of the actors aren't allover perfect. (and no, I'm not a prude)

Oh, I never thought about it that way before. :( I was just excited to see someone who didn't fit the Hollywood cookie-cutter appearing on TV at all, and thought it was a step in the right direction.

I totally agree that nudity completely unnecessary most (if not all) of the time in shows, and they usually are just tossing in some boobs for fanservice. But I don't let it get in the way of enjoying a show with an interesting plot and good acting, which seems to be a rarity these days.

OT, but I think this needs saying: I specialized in life drawing and portraiture when I was in art school, so I've seen a lot of faces and nude bodies. In my opinion, there's such a thing as an "allover perfect" body or even a "flawed" one, no matter what Hollywood may say about thin/athletic types being the only acceptable body type (most likely to sell diet plans, LOL). They're all beautiful in their own way.

They already have. Brienne. And if it follows the books, she will get a naked scene.

"Overweight"

... really, cos I didn't see any fat women. Unless you're USian and have strange ideas of "overweight"?
