#1 Rick and Morty, Season 9
4.5

Language and crudeness are high. The season is explicitly described as more foul-mouthed, with bad taste and dirty jokes, while still making that voice feel affectionate and imaginative.

Pros: critic appeal, genre satisfaction

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#2 It's Not Like That, Chapter 1
4.4

Profanity is minimal and generally viewed as refreshingly restrained, although faith-focused guides still note occasional swearing as a content caveat.

Pros: season finale quality, screenplay quality

Cons: character consistency, continuity

#3 Adventure Time: Side Quests, Season 1
3.5

Language is mild, with softened fantasy curses and only light real-world wording noted. It stays within the show’s kid-oriented tone.

Pros: production design, animation quality

Cons: pilot episode quality, score quality

#4 Dark Winds, Season 4
2.8

Language is a content concern for sensitive viewers. The clearest content note says there is a lot of profanity.

Pros: costume design, directing quality

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#5 Not Suitable for Work, Season 1
2.5

Language is relatively mild for a show with an edgy title. Mentions of profanity describe the cursing and f-bombs as minimal or halfhearted rather than boundary-pushing.

Pros: renewal interest, bingeability

Cons: plot clarity, soundtrack quality

#7 Star City, Season 1
2.5

Language is a content caveat, with foul language described as recurring. Families sensitive to profanity should treat this as part of the show’s TV-MA edge.

Pros: cliffhanger effectiveness, main cast performance

Cons: humor, family friendliness

#12 Alice and Steve, Season 1
1.4

Language is flagged as heavy and rough. Anyone avoiding frequent profanity should treat this as a clear content concern.

Cons: family friendliness, language level

#13 Spider-Noir, Season 1
1.4

Language is called out as part of the show's adult edge. Reviews mention stronger curse words and harsh language, especially when warning that this is not a gentle Spider-Man story...

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#14 Mating Season, Season 1

Profanity is frequent and strong enough to matter for content-sensitive viewers. The language reinforces the TV-MA tone rather than softening the adult material.
