People bring up how difficult it's been for Cox to get a job because he's so used to acting blind. There were multiple times in this show where he'd like gaze into the distance off-screen as though he were thinking while talking to someone and I could tell that was one of those moments. He also would randomly speak a few words with an American accent sometimes. It was jarring because I know he's British and it was interesting hearing him speak that way.

I didn't think the show was the worst thing in the world but it wasn't great. I thought the wife was the worst honestly. She knows he's a high ranking member of MI6 and then she incredibly easily loses trust in him because he can't talk about work, and immediately goes to a friend she knows works at the CIA who says she's just on vacation; riiight.

Apparently, he had been filming three things at the same time with three different accents… I don’t blame him

I don't either but you'd think people on set / editing would notice and try to find a way to fix it. Whether that's doing another take or using another one. They weren't exactly one-off types of scenes.

Maybe they didn't notice it either...I certainly didn't notice an American accent but I'm gonna try and look out for it now as I finish the show. Maybe that's just how his British accent is now? (He has been living in the US for quite a few years now, and maybe his real accent is getting Americanized or something)

I didn’t notice him doing an American accent. He’s British and used his real accent on this show. I only made it through 2 episodes though.

I'm almost positive he did it once or twice in those episodes too. Granted it's about five episodes and he did it a handful of times. I found myself thinking "wait he sounds like Matt Murdock, not a Brit" a few times.

lol. I literally thought his eyes had as much life to them as when he's acting Daredevil. In my opinion he is a terrible actor.
