(very light spoilers in that I compare it to a lot of other shows/describe the setup)

So I just binged Station 151, and it's a good show, but it has this one glaring issue that is driving me up the wall.

The show has so many elements that are just completely up my alley. It's in Antarctica (for any White Vault fans) it's got a big-personality scientist alone in a locked room (a la Relativity) and best of all, an AI in the brain! (I miss SAYER so much.)

However, there is just so much swearing. I don't mean this in a pearl-clutching way, but in a writing critique way. It feels like every sentence gets laden with so much filler, because every single statement needs to contain fuck, goddamn, or shit. The main character can't say,

"Oh God, I can't get the door unlocked!"

He says,

"Holy fucking shit. I can't get the piece of shit goddamn door fucking open."

It doesn't make the show unlistenable, but it's painfully eye-roll inducing. I feel like the writers think it makes the show more adult and scary-- but the whole premise is already terrifying! Swearing like this makes the character seem anachronistically younger, more like a high schooler than a PhD who teaches at Yale. (Not that the latter would never swear, obviously. I just don't think they'd do it like that.)

This is still a recommendation, because I DID like it, and have every intention of listening to Season 2 when it comes out, but I just had to point this out to someone. It's fucking goddamn annoying as shit.
