  The actual historical stuff about swear words was really interesting. The comedians who were interviewed were not that great though. Isiah Whitlock Jr's appearance in the 'Shit' episode was a highlight.

  WARNING: This review contains extreme f*cking profanity. Viewer discretion is strongly advised! With that out of the way, let's get f*cked! As someone who likes to swear a lot (mostly in secret), this was a f*cking blast. Nick Cage as the host adds just the right amount of batsh*t crazy to this absurd comedy documentary. It's filled with damn funny puns, low and high-brow humour, and profanity literally every f*cking sentence. The group of comedians all did a solid job. In other words, they were the sh*t. A good chunk of the jokes land (some don't), which isn't hard considering the topics were f*ck, sh*t, b*tch, d*ck, p*ssy, and damn. Learning about these swear words was more interesting than I thought it would be. "Who decides what is and what isn't a swear word?" (It's probably someone named Karen.) But maybe one day f*ck will be as socially acceptable as damn. (Wouldn't that be fun?!) It's also reassuring knowing that f*cking swear words are actually f*cking good for you! F*ckin' right! The season was only six 20-minute episodes, so you can breeze through this pretty damn quick. Some episodes will go through topics at breakneck speed. In other words, they cut things too short, didn't dive deep enough, and could have been longer. (Yes, that's a d*ck joke.) This was more of a retrospective than an actual history, but I enjoyed seeing all the music, movies, and historical events that popularized certain swear words. "English, mother*cker, do you speak it?" - King of the Word F*ck, Samuel L. Jackson. But they only scratched the service of swear words and pop culture, and it left me wanting more... those assholes. Overall, this was a f*cking good time. I recommend it to all my pottymouth friends out there, but until next time, f*ck off (and I love you).

  As a concept, it's _ing fun. As a history show, it's a bit too short.

  It was funny to watch and provided some good information on how some swear words came to be. Most will enjoy it

  The show seems less about telling the history of the particular swear words and focuses more on how various people see and use them today and even describes how various cultures see and use them. There is really only brief histories of the words used as it seems they were more interested in hearing comedians and other prominent socialites talk about the words. I think it would be better served to changing the name of the show to Describing Swear words today with a brief history about them. I don't really feel like it is or was meant to be very educational but if you are looking to be entertained and watching famous people saying taboo words, you are in for a treat. I would say it is a very surface level dive into the words and not much is able to be gained from it. So sit back and laugh at the troupes and forced jokes.
