Why so linguistically incorrect
3 May 2023
I am quite disappointed that while the characters speak German (Austrian) very well where script dictated, the rest of the dialog taking place in the Netherlands is spoken with an British accent. Dutch people don't use the word "bloke" surely the directors and producers could have utilized Dutch actors or linguistic coaches to sound Dutch at least.

I waited for this series with great aniticipation. I was born in the Netherlands and gave been a student of WWII and the impact on the Dutch because of the negative generational impact it made on my parents. The Dutch are some of the most able people in the world when it comes to speaking multiple languages. They should not be presented speaking British.
