00:00
Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at TV series with the most excessive, explicit,
00:10
and, hopefully, justifiable nudity.
00:20
Every modern anxiety and vice grip the sleazy suburbanites of East Highland, California.
00:26
With themes including body image, orientation, and sex drive, nudity is prevalent on HBO's
00:38
Euphoria.
00:39
Each episode pushes the envelope with it across genders, as well as graphic simulated sex.
00:44
While the teen characters are obviously played by adults, the show has received much controversy
00:49
for holding nothing back in dramatizing the mature exploits of kids these days.
01:02
Critical acclaim aside, Euphoria has engaged the public in debates about how to address
01:06
youth and general sexuality in mainstream television.
01:10
Whether it can get any more scandalous with the characters moving into adulthood for the
01:14
third season, the first two were candid enough about some naked truths.
01:24
Showrunner and star Lena Dunham aspired to a nuanced, unglamorous portrait of millennial
01:29
womanhood on girls.
01:31
She and her castmates weren't afraid to bear all in every sense.
01:44
The HBO dramedy wasn't just noted for representing realistic female bodies, it represented them
01:50
as frequently and as casually as possible.
01:53
Of course, the regular sex scenes further defied idealized Hollywood myths with awkward
01:57
humor, romance, and titillation.
02:14
It was a tasteful confrontation with anxieties about body image and nudity in everyday life.
02:19
There was probably more controversy surrounding critics' scrutiny of this hallmark.
02:31
Whether the nudity on girls can be considered gratuitous or refreshingly natural, there's
02:36
plenty of it across six seasons.
02:40
For eight seasons, HBO's Game of Thrones stripped all romance from the high-fantasy
02:53
genre.
02:54
One of its most talked-about methods was the extensive use of nudity.
02:57
Much of the cast disrobed for sensationalistic or bold, often disturbing dramatic purposes.
03:04
Some actors were actually recruited from the adult film industry.
03:17
This element of the brand was often criticized for diluting the show's prestige, especially
03:22
as it was disproportionately focused on women.
03:25
Such scenes were thus walked back in later seasons of Game of Thrones and are surprisingly
03:30
rare on its spin-off.
03:40
The nudity on House of the Dragon is also generally more modest and male-centric.
03:45
At any rate, its predecessor had enough explicit material for several shows.
03:52
Before Game of Thrones, stars really set the standard for shock value in TV costume
04:05
epics.
04:06
Their take on the Legend of Gladiator-turned-revolutionary Spartacus went way over the top on style,
04:11
obscene language, and gore, never mind the graphic nudity of both men and women.
04:25
Sexuality drove a great deal of the show's characterization, but its Ancient Rome's glaringly
04:30
anachronistic body types and cosmetic enhancements asserted the gratuitousness of it all.
04:36
At least this complements the camp value of Spartacus, creatively entangled with a truly
04:42
sweeping storytelling over three distinctly titled seasons.
04:50
Star's spin-off Spartacus, House of Asher, has a lot of substance to live up to, never
04:55
mind its more saucy gimmicks.
05:00
The excess of nudity doesn't have to equate to gratuitous.
05:13
Showtime's Masters of Sex fictionalizes the lives and work of sexology pioneers William
05:19
Masters and Virginia Johnson.
05:21
This means that each episode is full of graphic sexual content, um, in the name of signs.
05:32
Nudity is also utilized as a way of expressing the complexity of characters and relationships
05:38
in the 1950s and 60s.
05:40
The show tastefully placed sexuality at the center of the human condition, winning critical
05:45
acclaim as a legitimately adult drama.
05:47
Unfortunately, the premise was tough to sell to a wide audience.
06:00
Masters of Sex may have ended prematurely with four seasons, but it was a lofty experiment
06:05
in premium TV standards.
06:14
Showtime's The L Word was ahead of its time for focusing on LGBTQ culture from the
06:19
female perspective.
06:20
It's driven by friendship, love, politics, and of course, the bedroom.
06:25
The show features tons of casual female nudity and passionate hookups.
06:39
Some feel that this key trend across six seasons sensationalized the subject matter.
06:44
Moreover, many in the represented community criticized the perpetuation of an affluent
06:49
Hollywood fantasy.
06:50
The showrunners at least respected that for the short-lived reboot The L Word Generation
06:55
Q, which was just as steamy as the original and much more diverse.
07:06
The L Word may not have been the perfect representation
07:13
for its ambition, but the explicit material is confrontational enough.
07:27
The sexy vampire fantasy was practically the heart of HBO's True Blood.
07:31
This steamy supernatural soap explores society after synthetic blood allows vampires to come
07:37
out, as it were.
07:39
Obvious allegories for sexuality, blended with camp, made graphic nudity a hallmark
07:44
of seven seasons.
07:45
In fact, it escalated with each season.
07:54
This custom helped make True Blood a hot topic and a subject of controversy.
07:58
Besides accusations of exploitative sexual content, particularly in later plotlines,
08:03
there was criticism of imbalanced nudity between men and women.
08:13
The show's ostensibly progressive themes were as divisive as its storytelling.
08:18
True Blood remains a cult classic, partly for how far it took racy soap tropes on premium
08:23
cable.
08:26
David Duchovny's shocking follow-up to The X-Files may as well have added two more Xs.
08:36
Showtime's Californication follows bachelor writer Hank Moody through the Los Angeles
08:41
dating and celebrity scenes.
08:43
There was no shortage of beautiful people across seven seasons, but there was a shortage
08:47
of cloves.
08:48
Awkward sexual exploits were a key comedic and plot device that grew more prevalent as
09:04
the show went along.
09:05
Many viewers felt that it came to rely too heavily on nudity.
09:08
Duchovny himself, who struggled with many of Moody's vices, told Rolling Stone magazine
09:13
that the complicated themes of debauchery got muddled by sensationalism.
09:23
Californication is still a blunt portrait of excess, particularly in one area.
09:30
Only HBO could do justice to The Deuce, which finds epic drama in New York's sex work
09:35
and adult film industries around the 1970s.
09:46
Needless to say, explicit male and female nudity is rampant in each episode.
09:50
At least the boundary-pushing content was appropriate for the raunchy subject matter.
09:55
The dedication to the cast and crew's comfort was no less groundbreaking.
09:59
The Deuce was the first TV show to have a resident intimacy coordinator, now a standard
10:04
for sex scenes in Hollywood productions.
10:10
The show could definitely back up its commentary on the perils and politics of crude entertainment,
10:15
but mainstream entertainment would have to get pretty crude to match that much nudity
10:20
in three seasons.
10:31
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:35
Banshee
10:36
The edgy Cinemax drama aestheticized nudity as much as action.
10:48
Chemistry
10:49
Cinemax's short-lived erotic dramedy challenged nudity records in just one season.
11:02
The Girlfriend Experience
11:03
The Starz anthology tackled sexual politics thoroughly and graphically.
11:21
Minx
11:22
The revolutionary dramedy about a feminist erotic magazine featured mostly male nudity.
11:36
Outlander
11:37
Steamy romance has become a staple of Starz's long-running historical epic.
11:50

12:06
Shameless
12:07
Paul Abbott adapted his British dramedy to working-class Chicago with even more riotous
12:13
satire and nuance.
12:15
Showtime's Shameless also took advantage of its premium cable format to fulfill its
12:20
title.
12:21
For 11 seasons, the Gallaghers coped with dysfunction through debauchery, crime, and
12:26
steamy misadventures.
12:33
There were hundreds of nude scenes to progress the characters, comedy, and commentary.
12:38
Emmy Rossum most notably defended this content and defended against being shamed for it.
12:51
But was all of it really necessary?
12:53
Nudity was part of a shocking brand that actively outdid the competition in mature television.
12:58
With even that declining over time, there may never be another show like Shameless.
13:03
At least there's still quality TV behind the more crude and controversial content.
13:08
Which shows do you think used their racy moments more memorably and effectively?
13:13
Get frank in the comments.
