Sep. 24th, 2007 08:06 pmi've seen people not happy with McKidd's accent, which, okay that's cool, but people, HELLO? HOW WAS THE, YOU KNOW, ACTUAL STORY???????????????????
anybody?
update halfway thru:
the accent isn't bothering me at all but the story's a little bit too "mysterious", i think. they left a bit too much out, imho.
edit dos: so the reveal with the ex and the tag totally saved the pilot, and made the premise feel like it could really work. very interested to watch the 2nd ep.
and re his accent, it did seem, i dunno, forced [?] in the first act, like he was building it on his Rome accent, maybe, but well polished by the final act and the tag. the few places his accent sort of slipped actually made him sound Eastern US to me, imho.
but then what do i know? i mean, most Americans are illiterate anyway, so it's not like i know anything about story.
