He has also done some incredible travel documentaries of various places around the world.

I also like Shetland, but the actors all have strong Scottish accents and I miss a lot of the dialog. I love Vera, but again it is set in Liverpool (Beatles country) and I have a hard time understanding the accent.
What a fun rabbit hole this British accent stuff sent me down. It appears that both RP and Mid-Atlantic accents were "contrived" at boarding schools on either side of the Atlantic. *And*, had no idea about Gen Z stuff such as this. Why are so many young Americans adopting fake British accents? | Life and style | The Guardian
