My dad and I started watching Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland today, on his request. We've only seen the first episode, but it's good.
It's very good, actually.

I appreciate that the BBC left the swearing in. If you can't swear about the Troubles, what the fuck can you swear about?
Besides, telling someone from here not to swear when they talk is like telling them not to blink. You'll only make them uncomfortable and they'll end up doing it anyway.
It's always a bit jarring to me when I see folk complain about bad language online, using phrases like "nobody has to use those words" and "it's always vulgar" and "it sounds uneducated".
Please understand: that is cultural bias.
it's also classist as fuck, imo, but I am told I need to stop turning everything into a class issue
(everything IS a class issue, you can fight me AND the chip on my shoulder)
