I was fully aware of the ramification of the move to Amazon from the very beginning.
Personally, I don't have an issue with swearing. I do have an issue with the overuse of swearing, especially if you want to appeal to a larger audience. Imagine how well Star Wars would go over if they tried to sell the fans something they don't want? You know, something like a neutered Luke? How well do you think fans would receive that? Just so, the Expanse would benefit from a larger audience if they just toned the language down in season 4. And it was a bit much in #4.
Now, let's talk Avasarala. She's a diplomat. Her job is to persuade people to do what she wants. "You f**k*ng piece of s**t! Get off your g**d*mn S and do as I f**k*ng say!!" usually doesn't work well... So, yea... Avasarala swearing as much as she did in #4 feels way out of character, even if the books say otherwise.

Yep. There was swearing in #3 and, yes, #4 has upped the ante...
