I'm not a prude or a pollyanna by any means...I can get into some fairly dark stuff, as long as it isn't openly anti-God/anti-Christian/blasphemous. But GOT sounds a little too depressing for me.

When it comes to the homosexuality mess, even "The Walking Dead" now has two queer characters, but I'm invested enough in it that I'll keep watching. Except for one initial scene, it hasn't been too bad. And I suspect at least one of them is destined to be killed off, so that's fine.

I got my husband hooked on "TURN: Washington's Spies". I enjoyed it last season, but we've both loved it this season...it's our second show after "The Walking Dead."

TURN introduced a certain minor character who was eventually outed as a murderer and a queer. He was denounced as a deviant and there was a line about something being "even lower than a sodomite."

Along the same lines, a Continental soldier mocked George Washington for not having any sons and implied he might prefer young men over his wife. For that, he got knocked on his butt by one of the main characters.

Pretty unusual on-screen treatment of homosexuality these days.

He always is. It's like a thing with him...
