History of Swear Words (2020)- A Netflix Original Comedy Series

 History of Swear Words (2020) is an American documentary hosted by the famous actor Nicholas Cage. This is the search of piles of swear words' origin and its usage. There are several scientists, Meta-Cognists and Swear Word researchers' discussions throughout this series. Even though it deals with the pile of swear words it is not awkward.



It is fun as well as informative too. The first season has six episodes. Each episode deals with a particular swear word. The swear words are given as title for each episode. The titles are as follows:

1. F**CK

2. SH*T

3. BITCH

4. D**K

5. PU**Y

6. DAMN.



The running time of each episode is not more than 20 minutes. So, it is short and precise. The hosting style of Nicolas Cage is charming and his appearance looks like an ETYMOLOGIST. It is not the meanest one and it is a knowledge on swear words. They discuss about the first usage, reason for the word coinage and how it is emotionally connected to our real life. Sometimes, we may contradict to the statements in this series but it is the reality. 

Overall, History of Swear Words (2020) is fun and informative and it is a word of wit.

IMDB 6.7/10
