WARNING: SPOILERS! HBO has a long reputation for pushing television's boundaries, but the network's recent obsession with incest storylines is not one we're excited to see in 2022. Gossip Girl is the most recent show to bring the taboo topic to television, but HBO's Game of Thrones seemed to be obsessed with the subject, so we shouldn't be surprised by the trend. That program deserved a lot of credit for normalizing the twisted fantasy's appearance on the small screen. When it was revealed that twins Grace and Jake hooked up in a swanky New York hotel room, fans of the Gossip Girl revival were shocked, but it wasn't the first show to have an incest storyline in 2022. Prequel to Game of Thrones (predictably), popular animated film Rick and Morty, and cult favorite The White Lotus aired on HBO Max, and all became involved in inappropriate family ties.
