Jan. 14, 2021, 1:47 AM UTCis cheerfully profane and profanely cheerful. Experts and celebrities spend each of the six 20-minute episodes saying the"bad" word of the moment with glee and aplomb. It's a clever, well-designed show — except for the bizarre choice of host. Nicolas Cage completely undermines the show's straightforward, wholesome edutainment with a cascade of smarminess. He's painful to watch.
The series also recognizes that curse words retain their force in some more traditional ways. The show notes in passing that young people tend to see slurs as the most offensive words, and while the series mostly avoids those to concentrate on excrement and sex-based filth, it does include an episode on"b----."
For the most part, though,"History of Swear Words" tends to defang swearing, rather than to reaffirm its power. The mere act of saying any word over and over for 20 minutes is going to banish any lingering taboos.
