Yup. I get it needs to be Aaron Pierre’s show, and by the end I liked John enough for that to work, but you gotta figure out a way to have some Kyle Chandler in s2.
I do have to say, British actors are lucky that Americans don’t have a great ear for regional accents and even if something sounds off are generally willing to assume someone moved around as a kid. Pierre somewhat, but also Bumblebee Homerdome and Hugh Laurie.
Yeah, she has a thick Scottish accent so she was working hard to channel that Midwest accent for the show, you can still hear her Scottish lilt come through. Changing the pronounciation for an accent is one thing but changing your lilt (melody/rhythem/cadence) is much harder. It made for an interesting combo on the show.

And I’m an example of your point. I had no idea that Aaron was British lol
Not only him but another main cast member, Kelly Macdonald who played Sheriff Kerry Kane, is Scottish.
Okay that makes sense. I was confused with how intense her Midwest accent was. It was fake gotcha
