"As one of billions of bilingual individuals in the world, it disappoints me
when a film or TV show with characters of a non-English-speaking background is
spoken entirely in English. This is specially the case when the production has
been distributed globally.
It is even more disappointing – borderline insulting – when the lines are
delivered by a native English speaker in a fake, over-the-top accent.
That said, there are some encouraging signs linguistic diversity is finally
being portrayed in a more faithful and respectful manner.
Acapulco, an Apple
TV+ comedy now entering its third season, is a good example of how English can
be used as a common language in a show without quashing language diversity and
authenticity."
