Reply to comment by RingtailRush in I just can’t with the forced romances in mysteries and thrillers! They are so ridiculous by ginnygrakie

Some of that on HBO is heavily featured in the early eps to remind viewers ''you couldn't see this on TV!" and feel gained value from their subscription. Same with a gratuitous f-bomb two minutes in
