Yep, I too am a fan. I guess you have to get used to the language or hit the off button. The characters are developed well and the plot lines have appeal. I love the blending of good and bad, reminds me a bit of Clint Eastwood in the movie "Unforgiven".
But it's not right to leave out the phrase "**********" if we're talking about Al Swearingen.
"Bloody cocksuckers!"
