Game of Thronestook a mature approach to the fantasy genre, quickly earning a reputation for its violence and adult content. Fortunately for the show, HBO had no issues with censorship in the U.S.; however, not every country got an unfiltered version of the show. Each country has different decency laws, and Game of Thrones was made to fit the US's expectations. However, with different standards, HBO's partner in China, Tencent, often aired shortened versions of the show. Certainly, some fans were annoyed at not seeing every moment of their favorite show, but the issue goes deeper than that. Game of Thrones may have included gratuitous violence, nudity, and sex, but some mature scenes were crucial to the show, leaving fans who saw edited versions a step behind.
