More on Jessica Jones

[dbskyler]

Still non-spoilery, so no cuts, but I went for it and got Netflix streaming, and I've been binge-watching Jessica Jones all day.

Well, except for the times when I find myself surfing the internet for David's video diaries and clips of him singing with the Proclaimers, just to remind myself that there really is no need for me to be afraid of David Tennant.

That was an interesting article, thanks! But I don't agree -- DT made a terrible American. As for Peri, I honestly didn't realize she was even trying to do an American accent when I first saw those episodes. I just thought it was a very weird English accent. So yes, you're right, he's not as bad as Nicola Bryant, I'll give him that.

For what it's worth, in the few samples of more recent Big Finish audios I've heard that involve her, her accent has much improved.

That's good to know. And to be fair, I just saw episode 9, and it had someone else (not DT) doing an English accent, and it just sounded off to me, so I looked up the actress and sure enough, she's American. So, well done DT on doing a good English accent (which I'm not really qualified to judge, but it must be good because he gets asked to use it quite a lot. Or else people just really don't want to make characters Scottish. One or the other.)
