The story holds up well enough without it.
Would it? I am not so sure. I'm generally not a fan of pointless violence and sex, but I don't mind it if I think it adds meaningfully to the story. Now granted, I haven't finished the first book yet, so there might be a giant, extraneous orgy at the end that I haven't gotten to yet, but so far I think the violence and sex encountered has been well placed and valuable to the story. I think toning it down would remove a lot of the texture and general feel of the world, the characters, and the books.
Insert theme music here.

The NYT review was internally inconsistent and largely incoherent.

The original reviewer appears not only to be an outdated snob but an idiot

Wow. Very opinionated. It would be offensive if I cared about what she thought but I don't.

It mostly irks me that women will read this and think, "I shouldn't bother with that show."
