I notice some dialogue that I consider a little modern for that era. Things like "we'll take it to the next level", the greeting "hey" instead of hello or hi, or the threat "you got a problem with that?", "or "are you kidding me, are you kidding me?!!" There are others that I just can't remember while I'm writing this. Perhaps I'm nit-picking but listen closely and you'll notice dialogue that should be on the TV show Modern Family instead of this. I like the show though.
shareYeah, like "I knew you would screw this up!"

The writing is actually quite good. Dialog is kept to a minimum, without any long-winded, run-on scenes.
But I agree that some things jar quite badly, sounding late-20th century. The producer should have caught these and changed them.
I have no problem with a "non-compete" clause, though. And as for Indian's president being a scumbag -- Thomas Edison, another scumbag, cheated Nikola Tesla out of $50,000 around the same time. What's new?
If there's any problem with "the writing", the story seems to run through every tired cliché of "the little guys make good".

That was very jarring to me when I was losing myself in time and place and suddenly hear a Mid-or-Late 20th Century phrase or slang. I don't think writers understand how important historical research is when writing about previous eras.
However, non-compete clauses, or agreements are very old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause

I would have enjoyed it better if they tore up the script and just walked around not talking for 6 hours and just letting us soak up the period clothes and motorcycles. I really didn't care for the soap opera set in early 20th century approach that they took.
shareThey should of let the poms make it then they make excellent period and historical dramas
shareAt least nobody said, "'tsup?" ("What's up?")
