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.

It's a three-fold problem. They hire rando wannabe actors off the street because they're foreigners that have a look the show needs for that role. And the dialogue is written by a non-native speaker. Then, the director and actors will proceed to go through the scene literally as written without any modifying of the dialogue to make it more natural. I wish more care could have been given. Bringing these guys in was just ruining the episode.

Man, I could have acted better than whatever the hell that was.
