Yeah.
Sometimes I get the urge to seek out and watch everything Kim Bodnia have ever been in, but laziness always get the better of me. He was effing brilliant in The Bridge I and II.
You might also want to check out some of his graphic novels. Kobane calling, for instance.
Thanks for the suggestion, I don't know that series. Honestly, there are so many series worth watching or a re-watch. For instance, I've just rewatched True Detective, the first season. You put it down to laziness, I put it down to the bad influence that some friends have over me. Lately, not only have I been basically forced to watch Bridgerton, but I also had to pretend to enjoy it. Like, seriously, who gives a sh*it. I'm still traumatized. The things you do for friends, really.
Neither Matthew McConaughey or Woody Harrelson will win any prizes for their diction, no matter the dialect they speak in their roles. The Texas and Louisiana accents are hard to understand anyway. I learnt good old Queen's English in school and speak and write English every day in my job, but my assignments in Texas were cumbersome wrt language. Maybe it was just the unfamiliarity of it.

In Arkansas they spoke like classically trained theatre actors in comparison
Just how? I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it didn't even matter. Got through just 1 episode and couldn't do any more. Everyone told me I would love it. I came to the conclusion that "everyone" doesn't know me at all.
I feel like you're someone who's part of my little online community. Not going to ask you in case its weird, but I just wanted to comment on this in case you are so you know that I do indeed pay attention to things.
Edit to not derail too much from the thread: I binged Wheel of Time and Raised by Wolves and I love both. There are problems and I won't say that either show is the best thing ever (unlike The Wire), but if you're into Fantasy/Scifi, I think you'll be into them. I think I've already explained my bias earlier in the thread
By faking important calls that needed to be made, going outside to get some air, helping cooking and chatting with other guys who had to endure the same pain. I'm not very good at pretending.
Having been taught RP, it was really utterly shocking the first time, as a kid, when I heard people dropping ts and hs left and right and also pronouncing diphthongs in weird ways. But I was told that I was the one being weird, so.
Same here. Our primary school English teacher was an actual brit and really had it in for what she called "TV American". US spelling or US pronunciation was out of the question. It's less of a problem now, but when I started talking with English speaking people in a natural setting I must have sounded really odd. RP-ish with my native accent on top. Haha.
Same here as well. We also weren't allowed to sound cockney or working class. Oh, well.
Same. A fun combination I daresay.
Yepp true. Its a shame, because everything else is so good. But I see this often that writers seem to think there has to be something funny in the show when the story isn't funny at all. Then all the funny stuff is put into one character and that is doomed to fail.
I just remember the one at the witchers keep but my brain is bad at registering nudity these days, were there more?Watching The Witcher Season 2. It’s solid, yet it makes me wonder, how many boob scenes does a fantasy tv show require in 2021, in the post Game of Throne Era?
Some monsters with boobs, it looks like Netflix and HBO try to compete head to head in prime time skin moments
