I am not British nor American, so I am an impartial judge in this one. American accents sound pretty lame even when spoken by Americans, it's not such a big deal.
Her accent is strange because she's Irish so she has difficulty maybe getting the accent right. Already, the irish accent is strong. She tries so hard to hide it. Maybe, she needed more practice. To be honest, it is hard to get another peopleof other countries theor exact accent. That's why her acent is laughable. Maybe for her, it was hard get ou of her comfort zone. .
Thank you for posting this. I’ve only just discovered MI5/Spooks as a result of tracking down everything that Richard Armitage is in. I recently saw North and South so now I must see everything he is in.
Sarah’s accent is ridiculous and distracting. As an American, I am appalled that anyone could think that this was a passable American accent. I’ve never heard anything like it in my life. Where are the speech coaches for this show? The other actors playing Americans seemed to do okay.
@zooloops682 Not only will they work for less, but who in the UK is really bothered by a vague "mottled" US accent. Think of the ridiculously ambiguous and waffling UK accents American actors use all the time.
'Harry, press. There are.. there are stories.. stories are breaking'
'Ruth.'

Sarah is annoying in a million other ways though.

Sarah's accent is laughable.. The BBC can afford actors that are American. We hire UK actors all the time.

Yeah, but thing is, UK actors will work for less. It'd be nice if they could actually do an American accent, but still....
Or they could hire a Canadian...our accents are quite close to those in Washington state.
