    this is wonderful but everyone speaking in traditional english is strange. like, would doing russian accents be considered condescending or something? and obviously they wouldn't perform in american english, so traditional is just how it was decided for US viewership to both accept as foreign but still understand?

    that's the one thing that distracts me - especially when the radio broadcast, or whatever, is obviously from the USSR but lacks subtitles ... everything else has been quite wonderful.

    • it's not strange considering who's making the show and who the audience ismonospaced
    • I just think that such a notable story wouldn't get the same traction for viewers if it used subtitles.mg33
    • I do find the whole "english" accent as "foreign" funny though. That is used a lot in shows.monospaced
    • READING SUCKS! :Dmg33
    • It was the right decision. A whole series with subtitles make no sense.Bennn
    • right but why not english with a russian accent?colin_s
    • ^ I would blame Jennifer Lawrence for that one... if done poorly (red sparrow) it's probably even more distractingbogue
    • Russia adopts american shows by dubbing them to their language, so you can watch it in Russian laterdrgs
    • Personally I think there's nothing more annoying than when actors talk english with a russian / german accent in movies. Fuck that.haga
