I’m not supposed to like Naomi Nagata right?


I’m on season four and she’s completely insufferable. Judgmental, whiny, traitorous, and literally looks like a less handsome Barack Obama.

Oh and her accent and the way she pronounces words. I’m not a native English speaker but it makes my skin crawl.

She's a polarizing character for sure.

You're going to absolutely hate season 5 lol. She is beyond irritating and has far too much screen time.

reply

Awesome screen name btw, probably my favorite show and that whole schtick by Wesley still makes me laugh when I think about it. You weren't wrong about season 5 btw. And now she's going to continue her entitled moping, except this time about Alex. Of course she hypocritically hates Clarissa too. I can't stand her ahhh. Amazing show otherwise.

reply

Thanks. Yeah. Great show. Wesley was such a great character.

But yeah. Naomi. I just cannot stand her.

She's iffy with me too. Sometimes she's ok but sometimes she's irritating. Also initially she had an english accent, then suddenly she has a semi belter accent. Holden in season 6 is the worst though. But yes, she does look like Barack Obama.

Watching now and really my first search was why Naomi look like Barack Obama

reply

The way she switches accents is very irritating.

The Belter's speech is reminiscent of some unpleasant Afrikaans type accent, and she jumps back and forth between that and normal English.

I get the feeling that she's supposed to, in the context of the show, but still annoying.

reply

Yeah, she was the weak link in the show to me. Honestly I didn't think the actress had great chemistry with Steven Strait either.
