💨 Abstract

The article discusses notorious TV moments that crossed lines and highlights "Game of Thrones" (GoT) for its deliberate transgressive nature. Focusing on the fifth-season finale, it critiques Cersei Lannister's "walk of shame," a scene deemed gratuitously cruel and overly long. This scene was criticized for using sexual humiliation to evoke sympathy for a despised character, leading fans to feel both hated and pity for Cersei.
