A storm's a-brewin' oncable, andwe mean that in the best possible way. The newseason ofThe Magiciansbroughtwithquite the litany ofF-bombs - this time notbleeped outorsilenced asisusual oncable TV.
In truth, cable has been loosening the reigns quite a bit for some time to keep up with streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, whereshows simply aren'tcensored. Premium channels likeHBO have been on thatparty train for some time, butcablehasavoided it largely foradvertising reasons. Until now, that is.
According toIndiewire, channels likeSyfy andFX havebeen pushing theenvelope when it comes to swearing, andhere at SkinHQ, we've noticed the same thing withnudity. FX has always been the forerunner there, optingto showplenty ofbare butts - since thedays of Nip/Tuck, no less.
Now things are loosening up for other non-premium cable channels like Syfy too. If the goal is to keep up with streaming services - which it is, all revenue considered - we may start seeing even more nudity across the TV spectrum. Except on broadcast; the FCC is the FCC, after all.
