Swears and cusses don't offend me, but the number and randomness they were used in Deadwood reached the point of ridiculousness and became distracting for me.
"Do you want a ****sucking whiskey?" "Yes I want a mother****ing whiskey. Oh, and bring me a **** steak, too." "Okay, have a nice ****sucking day you **** mother****er."
I will try that ****sucking show again.
Working on a Navy ship would have been pretty distracting for you as well. I image so would have been living in a frontier mining town filled with people who had maybe the equivalent of a 1st grade education.
I loved Deadwood. I think the casting and acting were out of this world fantastic. I found the characters to be very believable, including their use of swears.
