I very much enjoy this version of The Tick, but I have one small beef. This may sound old-fashioned to some, but I find the use of swearing in The Tick to be extremely gratuitous and it detracts from the overall experience.

Don't get me wrong... I'm no prude. I swear like a sailor much of the time. But to me, dropping F-bombs (or worse) for no apparent reason in a scripted series is lazy writing, especially in a show that was once a family-friendly program. It's like tuning into a reboot of The Flintstones to find that Fred and Barney suddenly sound like characters from Goodfellas. It doesn't fit and feels awkward and forced.

I have never read the Tick comics, so I don't know how it is handled in that realm, but in the animated series and the Fox series, it was PG (in terms of language) most of the time. I can't understand why they didn't simply follow the precedent set in earlier iterations.
