Would have been better if they spoke Russian and Czech.

When is season 4, Jeff?

I thought the same thing. In season one and two the characters spoke the languages. Why can’t they in season 3?

Yeah and they didn't even do the bit they did in Clear and Present Danger and Red October where they switch languages. Feels really low effort.

I enjoyed episode 1 but I had this same exact thought. Why are they speaking English amongst each other? Really took me out of it, and seems like a minor detail that could have made it seem more realistic vs action schlock (albeit pretty entertaining schlock). Minor detail I know, but seemed like a lazy shortcut imo.

I don't think many of the actors were Czech. Some of the Russians weren't Russian.

Neither is fuckin Sam Neil in Hunt for the Red October (or any of them for that matter)

Yeah but that was a movie. It's way shorter than 8 hours.

With this show, it's 8 hours on top of coordinating actors from different countries (UK, US, Sweden, Russia, Germany). I don't even know if anyone was Czech lol.

right but like...that's something that can be solved through writing! Why the Czechs? Such a bizarre set of choices.
