It's Kenneth Branagh. Accents and other such things can be excused.

They have the same issue with the show "Vikings". And to top it all off, there are also the Anglo-Saxons and I have a feeling that the Normans may show up any time. And to boot, nobody knows what they really sounded like...but it was probably nothing like a modern-day British or American person faking a Swedish accent.

I think the only real accent on TV lately is the French guy on "Mr Selfridge"!

Nothing is what it seems. Everything is a test. Rule #1: Don't...get...caught.

They drive Volvos, the sky is bleak and dreary and everyone is sad all the time.

How much more Swedish can you get?

I love this show and Sir Kenneth is perfect. Sad and all.
