Re: Kind of based on 8

Sort of the opposite: rather than using period-accurate swearing, the showrunners of Deadwood used modern curse words because they thought it would have a bigger impact on the audience, while the antiquated forms would seem ridiculous to modern viewers. Ironically, though, this just comes across as a cowboy script by an edgy teenager delighted that his parents aren't around to tell him he can't say "fuck" - it's just forced and silly. It takes me out of it the moment they speak and I DNF'd it two episodes in.

Gravitas comes from good writing; there are so many gritty, powerful westerns where people use the curses of the era and trust the audience to understand that this is a different time and the delivery of the actors to convey the intended effect. (I feel the same way about Peaky Blinders' aversion to period music.)
