and the book had a 5 year old dosomized would you expect to see close ups?
On HBO, sadly, yes. The bar was lowered long ago on the ‘movie channels’. That’s why we don’t get them in our house. Even our grown children were somewhat embarrassed watching Game of Thrones with us (we’d gotten the first disc from Netflix) I might get it again later, and watch it by myself, but it’s certainly not family viewing, even with grown children.
