1890's swearing?
obviously I don't mind some motherfuckin' swearing here and there, but in excess it feels like it's trying to artificially add gravity to a situation to make up for the writers not being able to communicate that properly. I don't know if that's the case for Deadwood, but that's how I see it in other media.
That's literally the point. They said they were trying to make the language rougher in order to make up for the difference that time has had on swearing. Things like "goddamn" or "son-of-a-whore" would have had way more impact in that era, so they compensated with harsher modern language.
I understand that. I'm saying that adding a bunch of extra words (no matter what they are) to the beginning, middle and end of every other sentence is very distracting and doesn't make them feel any more impactful. It's just annoying.
If that effects you that much, then no, the series isn't for you. Also don't try watching the "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" series, if that type of thing offends you that much.
Gee nigger, maybe you should try watching a fucking episode for yourself and taking some time to form your own stupid opinions instead of crying to us after twenty minutes. Watching a TV show isn't that hard, I'm sure you can pull it off if you put your walnut-sized brain to the task.
The modern swearing is in there so the dialogue would have the same impact to us that 19th century insults that are fairly tame to us now would've had back then. It's a little like complaining that the dialogue in HBO's Rome was delivered in English instead of classical Latin.
