The argument is a bit undercut when a staggeringly expensive show such as House of the Dragon is the most watched show to ever debut on HBO, and features mainly UK actors and accents.
Especially when you factor in the pirating audience on top of this, it’s a massively popular show and among the most-watched in the US.
Not saying you have no point at all. Personally I have a harder time with the accents in contemporary shows aimed at UK audiences such as IT Crowd because they can at times speak faster and with more slang. But I don’t think it’s purely about disliking accents.
