It's funny, and I'm the last person to mind the swearing. However, After
watching the whole of the 3rd season I reached the conclusion that
watching it tenses me up, physicslly.
Maybe it's the shouting, maybe the swearing and maybe it's the fast pace
of nonsense. Heck, maybe it's the fast talking combined with the
Scottish accent which makes it difficult for me to understand. Maybe all
of the above or none. But it tenses me and I don't like that.
