'Hook' them, if you will.
And once they're hooked you no longer need it and can get down to the business of telling your story.
Game of Thrones is a good example concerning nudity in particular.
Because once the 'Look! Boobs!' phase had passed, they relaxed on it significantly and then used nudity sparingly as a story-telling device to shock the viewer.

That happened in True Detective. That scene was talked about for months and then the series eventually fizzled.
