According to an interview with DW, though, TPTB passed down the word, and there'll be less as they move forward.

*clueless* who is DW?

I have found the dilogue a mixed bag on AMC, but seriously, you are exageratng for effect, right?? Do you never watch HBO, and what the Hell rap doyou listen to? I think there were three s words and one a hole yesterday...

There were AT LEAST 10 curse words this episode. Between the teens, Petey and there were more in the first half of the episode. And I listen to lots of rap and watch lots of cable. You never have clunky curse words the way they constantly seem to throw them into every sentence. It's bad on OLTL too, but it feels more balanced (perhaps because their dialogue/actors are better in most cases).

I'm just so over it. It feels weird and it really is taking me out of the story. Here Darnell Williams was acting his heart out and I couldn't even pay attention. It's just cringe worthy and cheesy because it feels like they are cursing for the sake of it.

And cassadine1991, thanks for mentioning the other websoaps, because this is why I stopped watching Venice as well. Despite the high production values, it feels like these old faded soap stars just playing around. Again, the cursing is just so out of place. I think coming from a genre that is so restricted, they feel like they want to modernize and break the rules, but they always do it in the wrong way.This is a good example of that.

DW = Darnell Williams.

What he said was they toned it down a bit. Not completely gone.

I didn't hear that much cussing, so I have no idea what Chris is on about.

For once, it'd be nice to see a web-soap go back to what works, or at least what worked, instead of "breaking the rules." When you break the rules on purpose, you end up looking like a poseur.

This episode would've been just fine had it not been for all the [!@#$%^&*] cursing. It's to the point where it's REALLY pissing me off. I have never heard so many curse words in my life. Not in a rap song, on any cable series, a gang related movie or anything. It's just ridiculous, especially if you watch these episodes back to back. This episode had one scene with like 5 or 6 curse words, not to mention all the others. Yall might think I'm crazy for going nuts about this, but it is lazy writing, it's trying WAY too hard, it's unnatural and it takes me out of the scene.

How the hell do they expect to sell these soaps internationally with this type of language? It's like they're not thinking AT ALL. I feel these soaps are still tame on sexuality (which is more acceptable worldwide and on cable), yet they're shooting themselves in the foot with all these curse words. SMH.

This BETTER stop as time goes on.

I'm pretty sure the international markets don't care about this language, either.

Maybe we hear curse words differently? It really bothers and stands out for mein music--it doesn't (mostly) on these shows. I mean I trust that you are being honest with how you feel, but I just have anutterly different experience I suppose. I definetly notice it more when watching HBO, or FX basic cable for that matter.

i agree.. it's only a certain group of people

Such as...?

Such as...?

A balanced cast (of older and younger actors/characters). Characters that sound intelligent, portrayed by actors who know how to perform what's NOT written on the page. Stories that are rooted in those characters and about stuff people might be able to relate to. Scenes that last longer than the time it takes you to chew a bite of food. Any number of things.

I submit that AMC has all of that now except the last.

But AMC isn't a web-soap...is it?

Touche.

I mean, I don't know if it IS a web-soap or it isn't. Some say "yes," others say otherwise.
