Semi Sweary TV Shows - recommendations

Post by duncandisorderly » Mon Apr 19, 2021 7:56 pm

For context - so you don't just slam Game of Thrones or The Wire at me - i've just watched Santa Clarita Diet on netflix, which is a zombie comedy series and not normally my bag, but I quite like the 'wtf!?' with F being actually F*** as the husband and daughter learn what's going on.
Instead of 'shoot' or 'darn', or the worst one which is 'screw you' it has proper swearing.

Like, when you watch X Files or Lost or something and none of the characters can swear, so they say 'screw you' it proper ruins the immersion and character development, because no one in real life says it.
So i'd like netflix or amazon recommendations that are fun tv shows but have swearing in it.

The tv edit of Beverley Hills Cop mentions muddy funsters a lot. Father Ted had Feck! Dads Army's Jones kept referring to an old fakir.

I suspect this isn't helpful...

Feck and Jaysus are typical Irish. No blaspheming here.

Marco Polo on Netflix is excellent, the irregulars was quite good too - and if you have not watched it yet then Queen's Gambit is also rather splendid

I’ve not seen the first two, but really enjoyed the Queen’s Gambit. I’ll give those two a try.

Who knew chess could make for a great tv series!!

This is why podcasts are great! Certainly the non-BBC / corporate ones. People can talk normally because they aren't restricted by Ofcom et al
