The latest comedy series from FX has managed to find a place among people with almost similar family issues. However, even those fans now seem to be a tad disappointed with how the content is now shaping up. It is the dialogues that are perhaps now throwing people off. Fans took to Twitter and shared their disappointment at the amount of swearing that is used by the characters, especially Paul and Ally.

Not that they don’t like watching it or that they don’t like the actors. In fact, fans love Martin Freeman as Paul Worsley and how he struggles to deal with the stream of problems, and balance all the ups and downs in his family.

One fan is not interested in watching the show anymore and comments, “@SkyUK #breeders So so disappointed in this - was really looking forward to it as Martin Freeman is one of my favourites but although I loved the humour just way too much unnecessary swearing, especially the use of the C-word which sadly means I won’t be tuning in again”

Another Twitter user, who claims to be using profanity off and on, is also turned off by how the dialogues use so much swear words. “Can’t believe I’m saying this because I’m a HUGE swearer but #Breeders has too much swearing. I’m loving the comedy but don’t buy that he’d swear that much on each occasion. I look forward to my friends hoisting me by my own petard”, he says.

Some parents, despite finding the show hilarious and realistic, think that the abusive language in front of children might not be the right thing to do. She comments,“#Breeders is funny too much swearing in front of the kids, just not as genuine, but not as real-life as #catastrophe which was hilarious.”

And more such fans agree to the above reactions. They feel that the usage of language in the show is ruining their experience. “Totally agree. Actually spoils watching it because of the ridiculous amounts of language. Every single character, including the mam is swearing”, says one user.

If you haven’t tuned in yet and wondering about these reactions for this episode, then here’s a quick recap. In Episode 4, Paul and Ally end up fighting with each other, as incidents from their respective pasts come out. Ally finds out that Paul has sold out equities on their home, without informing Ally, while Paul is reminded by his parents that Ally doesn’t want to marry him because she might still be married or not over her previous marriage.

However, the couple eventually comes around and saves the day for their family.

‘Breeders’ airs every Monday night, 10 pm/9c, only on FX.
