[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished and have to say - this was pretty bad.  It had some good moments, but the ending was SO ridiculous.  I actually thought it was Benji (what a stupid name!) all along because he was so creepy and odd.  Not a fan of the actor.  Eve Hewson is always good.  Love Meghann Fahy - first time I ever saw her was in White Lotus and I thought she was fantastic.  Dakota Fanning was good I thought.  NK also good but the accent was terrible.  LS was meh and I usually love him.[/quote]

Why was NK’s accent terrible? It’s close to her real accent.[/quote]

Her real accent is Australian.  What she was doing in this show was a very affected British/continental-type of accent and it was beyond distracting.  Not sure why they couldn't have just written her part as an Australian.  There are complaints about it all over google.

I think her accent was supposed to be an affectation. She was pretending to be someone she wasn’t. Her brother’s accent was much different and rougher sounding so I understood her character to have adopted a more upper class type of accent as part of her facade. [/quote]
+1 I think the entire show was  tongue in cheek in a very very subtle way. They all knew the whole thing was a bit ridiculous, but it was entertaining and a mock up of the rich world. This is why the beginning fit so well too. Would rich people actually do a Bollywood dance? Maybe not, but everyone was having a good time and it lent a dystopian quality to the show that stuck with the entire thing. You (or at least I) still got sucked into the drama and the murder mystery but there was always a quality of absurdism to the production.[/quote]
