table added edit

I added a table for episodes. The table has spaces for a summary, however I did not fill out the summary. If anyone has seen this show, please fill out the summary of the episodes you have seen. --RichardMills65 (talk) 01:08, 2 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Language edit

clearly this show uses some colorful language and deals with adult topics. If anyone is offended by the language being used, ie the title to episode 7, lets have a discussion about it instead of making changes right away. --RichardMills65 (talk) 16:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Softcore series edit

There seems to be an edit war between two people. One changes it to "soft core comedy drama" and the other person just "comedy drama". I went a head and re added the soft core label because that is what it is. It is on max after dark's website, which is Cinemax's softcore block. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.147.88.35 (talk) 06:34, 18 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

→It is not considered a "soft core" show. Outside of the US it airs during primetime, and it wasn't originally developed as part of the After Dark block. This is an ad for the show from IFC, the network it airs on in Canada. https://vimeo.com/65932927 68.173.236.230 (talk) 00:50, 4 July 2013 (UTC)anonReply

  • I have to agree. It is no more a "softcore" show than Shameless or Skins. It is a comedy series with sexually explicit scenes - one of a growing number of shows of this nature. The term "softcore" is used to describe pornography, yet a show like Game of Thrones which is just as explicit as Girls Guide, would never be labelled thus. The article for Chemistry (TV series), a contemporary Cinemax series that also includes sexual content, is described as a "sexually explicit series" which I think is a better term than labelling it "softcore". I won't revive the edit war by adding the term to the intro, but I wouldn't object to it as the series, which is all about sex, could fairly be labelled "sexually explicit." 68.146.70.124 (talk) 16:25, 17 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I also agree. It is not soft-core. It was developed as original content for Cinemax. In the print magazine version of an article in Variety dated October 8, 2013, (Goodnight, Skinemax: The Death of Soft-Core Porn) about the changing face of Cinemax from a one time vehicle for soft-core movies and programming to a developer of original content, the article shows a screencap from "Strke Back" along with a screencap from "The Girl's Guide to Depravity" and the caption reads: "Cinemax original series include shows like "Strike Back," top, and "The Girl's Guide to Depravity." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.38.238 (talk) 19:43, 23 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
