I recently found out that I show I liked, Seal Team, had moved to a new platform, Paramount Plus. I subscribed to the initial free offer. I started watching new episodes of the show. I noticed that now since it is a streaming service and not network television the standards and practices are different for what is allowable.
Basically it’s the exact same show, same characters and time/storylines. However, they have turned up the violence, sex, and language. F-Bombs on a show I’m used to seeing on network TV with their 1950’s level of censorship. I’m not arguing for or against this, simply stating it for information. Actually the dialogue seemed pretty appropriate for that character under those intense circumstances, or other encounters of daring do, and chivalrous rescues that end in, or begin an episode with an involving tryst as a way to blow off steam for two characters both masters of their crafts who deeply respect each other and also find each other deeply attractive naked. Perhaps I was caught off guard by how that show, and likely others could be altered in efforts to attract more views. What if I were watching something with my nieces and nephews?
You be the judge. Just saying things have been changed, and perhaps you should be aware of it.
