Apparently, graphic sex scenes are their hook. As far as I'm concerned, they don't need it, but I guess they're going for something...edgy beyond edgy. Even so, I don't need to see all four position changes, know'm say'n? That cunnilingus scene in Episode 1, however, was very surprising. Never seen a mainstream actor go as far as she did on the small screne. The graphic sex may not be creating the buzz the producers were expecting, though. People talk to each other about sex, but they don't talk about porn. And the bottom line for me is, I can watch True Blood with my seventeen year old niece, but we sure as hell can't watch Banshee.
