People who participate in nude scenes need to feel comfortable and protected and full consent in the moment, no just in a contract they signed when they really wanted a job. Women shouldn’t be asked to strip down only to be objectified and nudity shouldn’t just be women and while we’re at it – not just male bodies should be included, but all body types and races. There is a right way and a wrong way to use nudity in television (and in film). It’s also potentially harmful that shows keep doing this – not for the audience but for the actresses that can be forced or coerced into scenes they are not comfortable with, as Ruth Wilson was and as Emilia Clarke was on Game of Thrones.

That’s the definition of gratuitous nudity, and it’s annoying that so many series still rely on it. Nude bodies can definitely contribute to a story, so can sex, but things get bad when the goal of a show is just to show sex and nudity (and violence) instead of to use those things in service of a story and the characters. They serve no purpose other to show this guy is a creep, but hey, he also arranged for the rape and murder of an innocent princess so, whatever!
In just the first episode, a sorcerer named Stroganoff Stregebor is in hiding out in a villa of some kind and he’s created illusions of naked women all over…just because. There’s no queer characters, it deals with race is really bad ways, and it takes exploitative nudity to a whole new level. The nudity there was also equal opportunity: with many males showing their full monty across every season.īut The Witcher wants to be Game of Thrones more than it wants to be Spartacus (which is too bad because Spartacus was a better show than both). And sometimes this worked! Spartacus contained constant and gleeful nudity and incredible violence…but somehow that fit with the story of exploitation and slavery. Game of Thrones is the reason we have the term “sexposition” – it excelled in using sex and nudity in scenes where it wasn’t required and many shows took the wrong message from it: that they needed more nudity to be on the same level. The butts could be anyone but the full-frontal went to the women and other cable networks followed until we got to Game of Thrones. HBO tempted subscribers with very adult fair and that often included lots of breasts and some butts for good measure. Premium cable television became synonymous with nudity a long time ago. This objectification is also annoying because there are infinite ways to make a show adult and impressive without using sex as set design. Especially when this tendency makes women feel forced into being naked.
Bodies are great and not shameful, but when a show uses women’s naked bodies as mere decoration and simply for puerile titillation…that’s bad. There is nothing wrong with nudity, let’s be clear. What they do have in common is this: nudity.

At first glance, these two series have nothing to do with one another: The Witcher is not prestige TV and, as far as I recall, there are no striga or kikimora in The Affair. We also covered the new Netflix series The Witcher.
Last week we covered Ruth Wilson’s exit from The Affair and the toxic environment that was alleged on set, especially when it came to nudity and love scenes.
