In the television series, he's obviously gay, and that's it. That's his whole character in the show. Whereas in the book he was constantly laughing and being a smartass. His personality was just much stronger in the book and wasn't based on his sexuality.

    I also think the scene in the first season with Littlefinger and the two lesbians was pretty overboard. I was very interested in what Littlefinger had to say because that part wasn't in the book, but I could not pay attention because of all the moaning. Very distracting and a disservice to a neat Shakespearean moment. The second season didn't have any moments that I would consider distracting or unnecessary.
    end of spoilers
    and that is entirely your problem, not a problem with the scene

    its actually one of my favorite in the season because it shows how focused Littlefinger is on maintaining his position, and how unimportant he considers his immediate surroundings when most men would be all up in it because they are simply a mean to an end

    because you are paying attention to the scattered ass is no ones fault but your own

    I think it was more a matter of him being jaded and bored from years in the pimp game. It's nothing new for him.

    "That's your problem" is one of the lamest counterarguments out there.

    The point that Littlefinger makes could have been made without the sex. I am far from the person who regularly criticizes sexual content; it's not like I haven't thought similar scenes in other shows were very good (check out the first season of Deadwood - Swearengen's speech during a blowjob utterly destroys what Game of Thrones attempted). And I've seen enough porn for a small town, so lesbian antics are nothing new to me.

    Apart of this may be Sopranos going on for seasons so it actually did have more nudity and i can't remember enough to seperate me.
    But i'm not really in the arguement either, was just making an observation, the only time i ever noticed naked people was Spartacus, because the show wasn't very good and i assumed they were added for that reason.
    And the bit in Rome where the two naked chicks were fighting, that stuck out.

    The main thing that stuck out to me in The Sopranos was the profanity, not the violence or sex.

    Spartacus is trashy as hell, but that's why it's an engaging, hilarious show. It actually has fun, unlike other trash like American Horror Story.

    I kinda liked the first bit of american horror story.
    Didn't think it was great but i laughed.
    Only watched a bit of the second season and found it horrible, or the allure had worn off. Not a horror fan though.

    I only started watching American Horror Story because my wife wanted to check it out. The first season had some funny moments, but it was also fairly tedious. I think I'm going to have to give up watching the second season and let my wife ride that out alone.

    But every other scene it seems like they have some girl getting railed out or titties hanging out.

    Don't get me wrong I love titties and women but tts just overkill on the show.
