Feels almost as if it's seen as a requirement for shows made for cable and streaming to have effing and jeffing in every other sentence these days... really puts me off watching things, it's usually so over the top, especially as it feels they're just thrown in for shock value and because they can rather than because there's actually any need for it. Especially when, as you say, it starts appearing in shows and franchises that never used it before, it's why I turned off Star Trek Picard and the revived Twilight Zone after a few episodes.
Was actually quite pleasantly suprised to see the revived Frasier is one of the few made streaming shows not explicitly aimed at kids/families that doesn't take this route- in fact 2 of the episodes have a U rating!
