I tried very hard to like and enjoy this series. The story line and plot had a lot of potential; however, the writers were so inept in their writing they had to resort to using vulgar, nasty, and offensive language, which seemed to be every other word. The language and nudity that was used was too unbelievable and made it difficult to follow the story line. I find it unbelievable that these well known people used that language and in that era. Maybe if it was set today in the intercity of most large cities or prison. It was a disgrace to portray these beloved characters from our past as nasty, vulgar scum. It was just for shock. I am disappointed in the wonderful actors who had to lower themselves to this type of film. I am not disputing the history or the facts, but remember Hollywood is known for exaggerating and taking liberties.
