I'm no prude and I'm enjoying the series. But "viewing rules" matter because not everyone is at "this point in our lives".

I have grandchildren and my kids pull their hair out trying to keep the entertainment in their house age appropriate. Even Disney is becoming a problem. I don't understand why the general programming channels like FX can't clean up their acts and leave the R-rated material to the pay channels where it belongs. F-bombs and nudity don't add a damn thing to this story. Real seniors don't casually drop F-bombs in mixed company, and it doesn't add to the 'realism' to pretend that they do.

I think you can draw a straight line between the coarsening of the language that hollyweird has been stuffing down our throats for the last 30 years and the level of lawlessness our country has devolved to.
