Well they are all Canadian actors!!! lol I thought they weren't too bad, they didn't try too hard I think except for Mosby but it kinda made it fun in a way. I'm a Texan so I could tell right away by certain words that they were not American actors mostly. But did notice right away that the beautiful hotel owner was really southern (she's from Dickinson TX). The problem is that actors focus on sounding southern but the south is full of different sounding accents so there's no real signature to each character. Plus actors always seem to dumb themselves down too. Or the women use too much twang and just end up sounding manly and un-sexy. I mean for example the school teacher in this show says weddin' and another guy says anythin'. Southern doesn't mean dropping the g off of whatever ends in ing and a school teacher would most likely say it with ing.
Wow, I can't believe I just wrote all of that. Anyway the easiest way to fake a southern accent is to put a dip in or try and not move your teeth when you speak lol. Mattie was a little annoying but her cuteness took care of that. Newt, Unbob, they sounded great. But yeah like I said the guys with the real accents they don't have to fake always add more to each scene, like Tommy Lee Jones, who on Earth could do it better? Loved the show, accents didn't bother me, the continuity bothered me. All the way to episode 17 was pure awesomeness, then all of a sudden from episode 18-22 it SUCKKKKKSSSSSS. No wonder it died. very sad
