I watched it on SBS on demand, and could not stop watching it - it was different, fascinating and fabulous!
I must have watched 3 to 4 hours a day for a few days till I had seen it all!
Loved it, and one of the most riveting TV shows I have seen in years.
I haven't. I was given the impression it contained sexual violence which triggers bad emotions in me.
Me too me too!!! My brother told me I would never be able to deal with G.O.T.

Sure have! Compulsory viewing, couldn't wait for the next week but resisted the urge to view other than the weekly episodes. It was so very different than anything I have seen before; couldn't take my eyes away for a second! Where was this incredible tale going?! Oooh, I almost couldn't look at times. What, who, how where; these questions seemed to all be the ones I was thinking every episode. But I have to say I was a bit disappointed by the ending but it wasn't a 'typical' Hollywood type ending where everything is tied up all nice & neat. Made me think though! Loved the show :))

Yes the ending was a bit strange, but I believe there will be more after she leaves, and I felt the same as you, only I wanted it in two or three hits - just could not resist it, but have you noticed we are the only ones who have seen it so far on our group!
Yes, I did notice that Finy. Hmmm ;)
I still think about it 2 weeks after it finished here. Even Dougie the dog watched it too, lol. (On that commercial) Hope it continues because I will be in the 'front row'!
Helya, can you tell me if it contains sexual violence please?
Hello Annfi, there is some violence & if you are not comfortable with violence it might be best to err on the safe side. I didn't think it overt but we are all different & have our own levels of tolerance. My adage is; if in doubt.......
Cheers
Thanks Helya. I think that is good advice.
I have, it was fascinating and disturbing. Margaret Atwood is a brilliant, imaginative author. Oryx and Crake is one of my favourites of her books. The science in this dystopian future is mind-blowing.
