I'm not bothered by it, but it can be overdone. I noticed this on The Leftovers, a series I otherwise liked, but the characters kept swearing all the time. It also feels unrealistic if it happens in the workplace. Would a mayor commonly use the F-word when talking to people? Would a superior tell off his employees by calling them names? I've never experienced this in real life. In fact the only area of real life where I have come across excessive profanity is in sports. I've known some really foul-mouthed coaches. I was gonna say some HBO shows overdo it. I haven't watched The Leftovers, but I can't stand it in Deadwood and Curb Your Enthusiasm, two shows I should like but the endless "fuck = comedy" annoys me. Regina King also did it a lot in Watchmen (which actually shares the same showrunner as Leftovers) but at least it was concentrated to one character...not ALL of them. Apparently it blew people's goddamned minds to hear the word "cocksucker" in 2004. |
