I know HBO had tons of nudity in the mid 2000’s to early 2010’s but it seems recently there have been tons more in spanish speaking countries. Now don’t get me wrong the over the top dramatic Latin American soaps are a guilty pleasure of mine. Just finished a show called Medusa and am starting a new one now which follows the same formula, sex, sex and more sex with nudity. Got me wondering, most American based shows are not like this, they are more tame and they get played safe. Euphoria is way more tame than lets say Elite. I know many conservatives claim that society is disintegrating the last few years but America media is so damn prude compared to Latin shows. Why are those shows seemingly non stop sex with an over the top storyline on top of it? I’m actually not complaining but just curious at the cultural differences because it is eye opening how open latin America and Europe are about sex on TV while America can get pissy for something 5% obscene as those shows.
