In an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar, actress Emilia Clarke revealed that she’s growing weary of people’s attitudes toward sex and nudity on television. Venting, she told the magazine:

“I’m starting to get really annoyed about this stuff now because people say, ‘Oh, yeah, all the porn sites went down when Game of Thrones came back on.’ I’m like, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale?’ I f-cking love that show, and I cried when it ended because I couldn’t handle not seeing it. That is all sex and nudity.

“There are so many shows centered around this very true fact that people reproduce,” she added. “People f-ck for pleasure—it’s part of life.”
