I am now watching the show "Ozark" with Jason Bateman. Not a bad series, and has good characters and good storylines. I am in about the middle of Season 2 and usually watch two or so episodes an evening.

I will say that this show and others, but to focus on this show, has just too much swearing. Especially the so called "f-word". Now, for me, I do swear, and I do swear if I am aggrevated or angry, I use the "f-word" a lot.

I do get on this show that all the people on it are under pressure, angry, and mostly low down folks, but every character just says the "f-word" all the time. "F this", "F something else", "That F'ing thing." The S word is also liberally used.

I wonder if writers of these shows put in all these F-words because they can, network shows are still not allowed to do so, but since they can, they do and just way overuse it. Like I said, it doesnt bother me, but some people do not want to hear it, or just have it be used all the time, by every character in every scene.

Writers, using the F and S words doesnt make you edgy. Not asking you to stop, but slow it down a bit. Just because you can doesnt mean you have to!

Have you seen Bloodline on Netflix? It's the same way. Every other word is the f bomb. Like you, I'm not above it; but the English language has a lot of words to pick from. :crazy: I agree that they are doing it just because they can, not because it adds something to the story. It's not shocking anymore, but the constant use of it becomes annoying and comical.

Network shows aren't much better. No f word yet, but lots of crude dialogue about genitalia and all kinds of sexual innuendo. That's not necessary.
