Started watching this on and off some time ago. Thought it might have been quite interesting to see the warts-en-all depiction of a very sad period in American/Western history. I knew it wasnt going to be an easy watch but after slogging thru the 5th series - skipping most of the content due to pure boredom, I,ve finally given up. This story has been done time and time again by Holywood and countless other producers, in 2+hrs and dramatised series of FAR less than this one. The makers have turned it into nothing more than a drug-orientated gangland street war soap-opera. Some may like Emmerdale on steroids(well, crack then), but its not my taste. Also,too much reliance on gutter language for dramatic effect. Im 60+ and heard and used it all before but do we have to be so reliant on it when good acting can do the job just as well. This is a program that the very young can easily gain access to these days.Many will say "dont have to watch it, just switch off!" .......so I did.
