Agreed. Maybe DEI surfaced in UK? So many of the shows nowadays are situated up north, where the diction and accents are not proper Cambridgeshire or Londonian. Subtitles are a big help. Another observation, while most episodes of police procedure dramas in the USA feature gunplay and killing of perpetrators, the British shows rarely get violent, and they arrest the bad guys instead of killing them.
