Is this show even legal?


I hears 2 swear words $hit and A$$hole just watching part of one episode. How is that legal on television? What about the FCC? They were not even bleeped. Has the law changed on that?

On cable networks like tbs, amc, fx, ect. You can get away with saying *beep* and *beep* Just look at American Horror Story, Breaking Bad and the Walking Dead

Considering that the show airs after 10:00 at night, they could do it on the broadcast networks, too ("@$$hole" is likely permissible at all times of day, though - it occasionally crops up before the 10:00 safe harbor on broadcast TV [an episode of The Big Bang Theory comes to mind]).
