My only complaint would be to mix up the accents. For instance, in "Men Against Fire" it was not necessary for everyone to have an North American accent. Especially when dealing with a global threat. And they can't make the argument that it makes it more accessible to American audiences because the show was already popular here.
I'm black, gay, and a nerd; just staying alive is an act of protest.
Hey I don't know why they did that in "Men Against Fire". They could have used their natural English and Australian accents. It effects nothing. Saying it makes it more accessible to American audiences is an outdated and weak argument given that Downton Abbey and Sherlock and VERY British and extremely popular in the US. It is one of those things that producers and writers thinks the audience wants and is way off the mark. I like that they are telling different stories around the world. I hope they start telling stories and other countries like India, Russia, or China.
shareI agree, season 3 had some epic moments. The last 15 mins of Hated in the nation was great -- the music was impeccable, the writing was genius!
shareWell, season 3 was fantastic but I wouldn't agree that it was the strongest. It had 6 episodes so it only needs two stand out episodes to match the other seasons so it is a bit of an unfair comparison. If season 1 and 2 were added together to make 6 episodes then I think season 3 would struggle.
Saying that, I love season 3 and would not want to take away anything from its success.
I was afraid season 3 would suck. At times I did think it was more watered or dumbed down for American Audiences, but then I watched the last two and thought the show redeemed it self nicely
