RASPBERRY RIPPLE
BT Rep: +19
In regards to the "adult content"...there is a decent amount of sex in the show. Not only does this give the characters some depth (What are their proclivities? Who are they having sex with? Is it gay, straight, or bi-? Are they willing to do things with people they despise? Is it incestuous? What secrets are they keeping about it?...), but it is also used to form alliances, control others, and shift balances of power.
Not to mention there's lots of dwarf sex. Need I say any more?

I think given the limitations of visual media the wise producer takes great pains to get the casting right ( apparently the case with AGOT) because a person can't imbibe the characters with their own life like they can with a book so the connection needs to be immediate and a lot stronger than with unknown material ..Ned should be taller or not as gruff or whatever.The trick is to have an actor so good that all those preconceptions become irrelevant.

Watch Sharpe. Bean was pure gold until he started getting a little long in the tooth.

this series is very interesting but the adult scenes make it not good
Persona non grata
I'm a big Sharpe fan but you need to be aware that the series was filmed intermittently over the course of almost 20 years.Consequently it varies greatly in quality with the middle ones being imo by far the best. If you start (appropriately) with the first and don't especially like it , try to hang in there til the third when everything's better established.
Also if by some fluke of nature you do actually like it then I'd also suggest checking out Hornblower

They aren't adult scenes, they are scenes with titties, ass, dangling cocks and pelvic shots. They don't detract from the show though, however it's a personal preference as to how much they augment the show. For me they are mostly beside the point, why wouldn't significant conversations take place in the nude?
On the other hand, your post wasn't very good.
