Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

[Paul Farquhar]

Must be cultural, I have a cousin who is an Airforce pilot (flying helicopters for the Navy funnily enough), he doesnt swear that much and certainly not like a sailor

Or maybe the military don’t swear any more or less than any other profession, and it has more to do with socio-economic background.

My take on that trailer is that Hal is an ignorant thug, and not a character I find appealing. If that is the intent, and to make Jon clearly the good guy, then his language seems appropriate. Note that I haven’t read the comics (I find the premise rather silly).

The swearing sheriff seemed more “off” to me. British police officers are trained to be polite when dealing with the public, and I have personally never heard one swear.

Same. I'd have said it was endemic.

Yeah. I had a dad who was 20 years Army, then I joined, then I ended up in the construction sector. Eric's Grandma is the only thing reigning me in at this point...
