And I'm so glad you liked Political Animals! I very much enjoyed the script and thought the pilot held up. Fun (or maybe not so fun) fact: they actually toned down some of the offensive language from the script. Elaine's mother, for example, originally had a couple other seriously offensive slurs when she was talking to Susan. But I agree, a lot of the saltiness did feel like they were just doing it because they could.
Ah, well. The female characters intrigued me and that's really all I require.

Yes.

I think so, but they also used the language to get across what a not-great guy Bud is. It felt more like they were just getting in what they could, but I see how they could justify it, character-wise.
