Deadwood
Got the first disc of Deadwood from Netflix the other day and decided to sit down and watch it. Aside from comments in passing from friends, I knew little about the show, but I was warned that it was vulgar and violent.
Turns out it was too vulgar for me. The story seemed promising, and the characters were interesting - but I found myself getting distracted by the language. I briefly entertained the idea of "working through it" - but I'm only willing to spent so much time watching TV, so there's gotta be return on the investment...
So I've taken the rest of the discs off my Netflix queue. 's a shame too, I could have actually been in the mood for a good western.
Next up: Dead Like Me

Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one.
Amanda watches this show, and somehow she can get around the language - but to me it's worse that Jr. High. F'n this and F'n that. It becomes "count the F-Word" and any actual content becomes lost in the noise. I couldn't follow it. But I figure it would make a great drinking game. :)
