Ahead of the new Lifetime movie adaptation of V.C. Andrews 1979 cult classic, we explore why incest plotlines are so enduring in popular culture
Lifetime’s Flowers in the Attic, the movie adaptation of V.C. Andrews’ sordid and soapy tale of family dysfunction, will air tomorrow night, and for millions of American women in their 30s and 40s, it’s sure to be mandatory viewing....
A survey of incest plotlines in popular culture over the past few years alone includes Game of Thrones (sister and brother, Cersei and Jaime); Boardwalk Empire (mother and son, Gillian and Jimmy); Dexter (adopted sister and brother, Deb and Dexter); Bored to Death (half-sister and brother, Jonathan and Rose); Bates Motel (mother and son, Norma and Norman); and Top of the Lake (half-sister and brother, Robin and Johnno, though was only a scare)—not to mention, Brothers and Sisters, Supernatural, Nip/Tuck, Lost, Veronica Mars, Californication, Six Feet Under and the upcoming mini-series The Spoils of Babylon, which stars Toby Maguire and Kristen Wiig as romantically involved adopted siblings.

But seriously, I’ve never seen any of the programs mentioned, although one couldn’t be literate in my generation without being aware that “Flowers in the Attic” was a huge bestseller.
Obsession with depravity... we are so swirling the drain.
Good fn grief!! This madness MUST stop.
Well it looks like incest is going to be the liberals next sexual sin to normalize now that they are done with homosexuality, funny, I though they would try for pedophilia or bestiality first. But maybe they think they stand a better chance with incest, after all they can use the exact same argument they used with homosexuals (IE Two consenting adults, opposition based on old outdated moral customs, nobody harmed)
I heard on the radio yesterday that a judge overturned an incest conviction of and uncle who sodomized his nephew on the grounds that the incest statute prohibited familial procreation and procreation cannot result from sodomy.
Im willing to pay ten Billion Dollars to the first person... who can show me evidence of the INCEST GENE!
AAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!
I never read “Flowers in the Attic” but I feel like I’ve seen about a million people reading it. I had no idea it was about incest!
And what was incestuous about “Brothers & Sisters”- I watched that show a few times and I thought it was pretty unshocking, if soapy. Are there 2 shows with this name?
The only people obsessed with incest are Hollywood and the major book publishers. Who controls them? Look up their names and backgrounds. They are not Christian and I wouldn’t even consider them American.
Once you open Pandora’s Box... you can’t close it
I never heard of the book. I did try to watch “Game of Thrones” but after about a season, I gave it up, too much pornography overwhelmed any storyline.
" ... incest plotlines are so enduring in popular culture ... "
Says who ?
I’ve never watched any of those shows.
Do you know who these poeple are? If so PLEASE ID them?
Ok, in Supernatural, a comment was made about incest fan fiction involving the 2 brothers. The reaction of the brothers was “Ewww,” most of the incest subtext is invented by the people doing fan fiction. In Veronica Mars, the plotline was “why did Duncan dump Veronica?” And the reason was because Duncan’s dad had an affair with Veronica’s mom for years and Duncan’s mom told him Veronica was his half sister. Veronica only got with Duncan after a DNA test proved no relation.
Since the author is so totally wrong in this case, I really can’t take the rest of the article seriously.
I mean ... I occasion a ... um .... sort of ... ahhhhh .... you know .... a ummmm .... sex site ... but I'm not moved to post anything.
Queen Victoria and her kids and grandkids, by her husband, and first cousin, Prince Albert.
I suppose because I was in Makhachkala at the time.
