half the reason i've pretty much abandoned western media is because it's pretty boring in comparison.
especially when it comes down to the amount and variety of it.

i just just feel like it's just Marvel/DC movies and boring violent drama stuff like Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.
i guess that's Hollywood for you.

can't even remember the last time i watched a series or movie and actually thought it was really good.
i do watch the occasional movie these days but none of them are really that great.
last one i watched was Infinity War last week and well that was just like any other Marvel movie so it was boring.

How does having sex, drugs, and violence in a show have any affect on the writing?

The Wire features all of those and is widely known as one of the best written shows of all time.

You know what else has sex, drugs, and violence? Real life.

I never said it did, where did you even imply that?

Take away sex/violence/drugs in any of the top shows and no one will even care.

Game of Thrones for example, take away the softcore sex and it would just be some random shitty lord of the rings knockoff.

Lol no.

Take away the softcore sex and it would be the exact same show with awe inspiring battle scenes and political intrigue.

You clearly have no clue what you are talking about.

And apparently you do?

Never claimed to but it is pretty safe to say I'm more in the know than you.
