"What's he's complaining about -- and I'm sure he'll tell you
so himself in far better terms -- is overkill."
That pretty much says it for me, thanks.
"DEADWOOD, much as I love it, suffers from the same fate. . .
. I think sometimes on DEADWOOD they're cursing just to
remind us we're not watching network television."
Although I recently picked up the first season, I have not
yet watched it, so I can't comment on Deadwood. However, this
reminded me that I was sorry I forgot to mention The Wire as
an example of well used non-PC language. The show is filled
with cursing (some very inventive), as well as racial and
sexual slurs, but it never seems forced, always seems to flow
from character. It's saying something when a scene whose
entire dialogue is the word fuck delivered with different
inflections does not seem gratuitous.
