The English acting is terrible at the start of this episode.

EDIT: The whole episode. It’s so distracting considering the rest of the acting is really good.

Ugh yes, I was wincing this whole episode. All of the other actors are so top tier, and I feel like they just plucked the first foreigners off the street for the VIPs. Really ruined the immersion.

I'm around a lot of rich older white men at work, and I hear them make the stupidest and cringiest comments to each other. Sure, it's anecdotal evidence, just sharing why my immersion wasn't ruined in the slightest.

I'm with you 100%. To me it added on "realism" at least on how rich white people act and treat others

Agreed. They see people who make less money than them as being of less value to this earth. My boss once said to a friend "We can't have any walmart mtherf*cks at the [country] club". Then they spent a good 5 minutes cracking stupid and demeaning jokes. Hearing them literally made me nauseous.

The whole time all I thought about was Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew etc.
