I would say it’s mainly (foreign-accented) American, with not many British features at all, which makes sense given how much Hollywood work he has done.

this is the first I’d heard that it’s largely or entirely in English

Chernobyl had no actual Russians and everyone spoke in a British accent

You’ll find it in plenty of novels; it’s a very common and longstanding device to mark someone’s speech as rustic, uneducated or low-prestige (e.g. cockney).

Defending that sort of behavior and accusing someone of being “a vicious homophobe” for not being willing to gloss over it is offensive to gay people (just like Kevin Spacey or Bryan Singer wrapping themselves in the rainbow flag to excuse their crimes).

If you haven’t seen episode 2 yet, there are at least a couple more elements that definitely seem inspired by Moore, though they’re not exactly straight adaptations. One of them being Jason Woodrue, and another which I won’t spoil.

That Wolverine movie in Japan (The Wolverine?) was also pretty good, I thought.

I think it’s also worth pointing out that the “Doomsday Vault” (Svalbard Global Seed Vault) is a real thing, and the entrance really does look like that. Even the moat (actually a drainage ditch) and bridge are real! And it has indeed been threatened by flooding from climate change, which is why they have the ditch.

More to the point, do we need any more X-Men movies?

Among his many credits I would highly recommend the original Insomnia, where his performance wipes the floor with Al Pacino’s in the remake.

The first episode hints that the Sunderland Corporation is behind a lot of what’s going on, which seems like something they took from Moore.

In a show so predominantly British, I also find her accent jarring.

I don’t remember that running joke, and I’m not sure who you mean by “nobody”, but I’m about halfway through a Discworld reread, and at least in Men at Arms, Colon certainly knows Angua is a werewolf, and it’s strongly suggested that Nobbs does as well, as well as of course Gaspode, Vimes, the Patrician and eventually…

It’s funny to me that I’m getting it from both sides - the comment before yours accuses me of seriously underestimating how bad infectious disease is!

While not officially a remake, Other Space was a pretty good American version of Red Dwarf.

I’d think the assassination of the king of the Seven Kingdom’s does directly involve kings. That the murder was pinned on the king’s uncle and the future Queen in the North also seems royally relevant.

I assume someone has already mentioned this among the hundreds of comments, and I know it was just a gag, but seriously...

That story about the cop who discovers that he’s the murderer sounds like a Donald Kaufman script I want to see get made!

On the page it’s clearly a joke, but McDowell doesn’t deliver it that way, nor does Grant responds to it as a joke.

I don’t think he seems down on it, particularly. He does point out that the hairstyle was meant to be unflattering, but I must admit I still think it looks good.
