Actors appear to have full-on sex in new HBO series
Will one more boundery be crossed next TV season? Will a new HBO series show real sex on screen? TV Squad thinks so.
"The new HBO series Tell Me You Love Me, trailer on YouTube, reportedly has male and female stars doing it for real, not just the usual "lovemaking" you see on television (even cable). Rob Owen over at post-gazette has seen the pilot and says it looks like it's real and not camera angles or special effects.
"The story of several pairs of lovers in couples counseling with a therapist (Jane Alexander), the "Tell Me..." pilot features what appears to be actors having actual, not simulated, sex."
HBO's press release for the series, premiering Sept. 9, is intentionally cagey, saying the show "looks at the connection, or disconnection, between sex and intimacy," and quotes HBO executive Carolyn Strauss who says,"The show reveals characters and relationships through everyday, telling moments in a way that broadcast TV can't do."
