Pointless nudity


This show has the most pointless nude scenes. At first I figured they were setting the tone for the show, but nope, just inexplicably in there for some reason.

Really? Are you talking about the sex scenes (all two of them)? Personally I hate it when movies and TV depict people having sex in bras.

People get naked and have sex. A lot. In real life. Some of it is shown on TV, because it's exactly as ordinary as eating food or wearing clothes or walking around talking to other people. The horror!

Strange, I kind of liked it :p

You don't like seeing attractive people naked?

I have no problem with nudity on tv, but this just seemed really out of place.

How about teenage nudity?

Why must that be in any film as it would be illegal if the actors were really teens? Instead it's virtual kiddy porn since they aren't.

reply

Pretending teenagers don't have sex serves nobody and sometimes nudity helps set the tone or the world the story is set in. This isn't suppose to be about the merit of nudity in film, I just think that this particular nudity is out of place.

Nude teens in media is illegal buddy.

It is illegal for teens to take nude photos of each other and they will get prosecuted for child porn if they do. That's serious stuff and showing simulated nude teens having sex is pretty extreme in a movie.

No it isn't, but I know what you are trying to get at.
It is illegal for underage teens (i.e. children) to take nude photos. 18 and 19 year olds are still teens but are also adults (in the country we are talking about here) and it is perfectly legal for them to take photos. Just like in certain US states and in the UK, it is legal for 16 and 17 year olds to have sex, even though they are still considered children.
If the portrayed teens are underage in the show then the actors will have to be 18 or over to be nude.

It may be illegal in anally retentive amerKKKa but it isn't here in Europe.

I think you disapprove and that's why you're falling back on 'the law' to endorse your prejudices against skin being on display

I tell you I was having sex at age 14

reply

The actors are NOT teenagers mate.
Or is the theme you have an issue with.
Then maybe we shouldn't show violence cause that's illegal in real life too. Ohh how about rape and mental abuse. Pretty sure that's frowned upon. Drug taking and theft. Guess we should take that out of movies also. Profanity discrimination also?
Leaves us with The Little Mermaid and Bambi.

I agree wholeheartedly. I find it a lot in cable/ streaming -great shows that throw in a bit of "highly-inappropriate" sex, seemingly just to show "hey, we're hip -stick around, you might see more!"

Again, like the OP, I'm not against sex, etc. being depicted, but having watched only episode 1 to date (and liking it on the whole) I'm a bit annoyed that because of 2 minutes in the 1hour+ show, it proved highly embarrassing that I had suggested to my 15 and 11 year olds to watch it with me. Nothing in anything I had heard suggested this kind of thing -and on the whole, as I said, it did prove to be something we all otherwise enjoyed.

Netflix badly needs some kind of rating system at the very least.


...Can anyone offer any guidance on this (or a link) ...does the rest of the series contain scenes that are as "wildly out of place" all of a sudden -or was it just sticking that into episode 1 in order to keep interest up for those who need it?


(I'm not giving any moral judgements here -just wondering if I can watch the rest with the kids ...apart from that stupid sex scene/ with oral sex & "discussion" on it, I can just about live with the amount of inappropriate bad language.)

Not much more nudity in it.

However, the characters spend a lot of time in some pervert's dungeon getting tortured.

I work in psych and used to work with sex offenders. There's real people in someone's dungeon not, probably a lot of people. I don't find that a subject for light entertainment and it makes me angry. Kids watching that, I don't know.

reply

You should probably stop watching TV, movies, and life...

Have you consider not watching those programs you find offensive? Also consider, not trying to dictate to others what they should or should not like?

SPOILER

Don't know if this is too late but there is another fairly intense sex scene with Paz Vega (Renata) & Homer in a hotel in Cuba......

"Inappropriate sex? WTF????

what is it with you yanks and your sexual repression? I like seeing sex portrayed on tv

///I had suggested to my 15 and 11 year olds to watch it - Good. What is with you americans and the way you treat sex as something bad???

reply

Well, The Lord said in the book of ...

I don't give a *beep* about a ratings system. If you have kiddies then watch just the first pilot and see, you will get the tone. I still wouldn't stand in front of a window naked after having sex in a neighborhood staring out of a window, so maybe the poster has a point on that one.

Is a joke, just showing the character and his recklessness. I thought Netflix did the MA warnings or maybe it's was Hulu. Get them mixed up sometimes.

Aren't they supposed to be teenagers in high school too?

So, naked breasts of teenage character and naked teenage guy.

People in film are like the biggest degenerates ever.

reply

What the fufffff are you talking about, you repressed xian dick???

I like nudity. I want more nudity. Go to some islamic *beep* if you don't like nudity

reply

I totally agree with you, TheAdlerian. How things have changed, once morals were respected, now if we defend morals we're ridiculed by others for saying it. You're being insulted/attacked by lowlifes here for daring to say that depicting nude underage teens making love is wrong. Bravo for having the guts to say it.

reply

get naked you loser. all tv shows should be filmed naked. clothes are just there so ppl cant see YOUR anal leakage, amirite??? ha kidding!

reply

Surely we get to see most peoples anal 'leakage' anyway. Isn't that what most forum posts are made from? 

reply

Totally agree. Almost all Netflix shows have pointless nudity or out of place musicals. It's so insulting, they think all viewers are so dumb and require both of these things to stay interested. This particular show was excellent. But yeah, the nudity added absolutely nothing to the show, like all Netflix shows

reply

sex scene was well explained few times in the first part, but i see not well enough for some idiots.

reply

Best answer.

^ well-said

reply

I wish there would have been more. That chick was hot.

reply

There is not such thing as pointless nudity.

reply

Nudity doesn't bother me but so many shows do it just for the sake of it. A lot of shows do the same thing with cussing and violence.
