Yes I watched it. Tons of shows with similar themes are rated TV-14 on network TV.

  There’s technically criteria to a movie/TV show rating. One such being the F-word. One usage is ok in PG-13 rated movie, but any more and it’ll be R. Ultimately though, IIRC, movies are rated by a committee run by the MPAA who watch the movie and rate based on how they feel it should be (while taking the criteria into account).

    I know there are guidelines that broadcaster should follow. But the lines between ratings are blurry. For instance, Mad Men was rated TV-14. They had F-bombs, rape, death, and most of the plot was around "adult themes".

      Mad Men was on basic cable, so even though it had those adult themes, it didn’t make them explicit (for example, one plot line was that a character traded sex for a business deal — but the episode didn’t show the sex scene). There were scattered F-bombs that were censored from the original broadcast; the version available on Netflix (or for purchase on home video) restore them.
