This show deserves a Global Emmy for the worst sound ever.
First, the characters have over-the-top accents which make them hard to understand. I guess this is supposed to make it more "international".
Second, the background noise is always brought up to a high level during key moments of dialog. Couldn't hear what they said over that passing train? Too bad, it's "atmospheric".
Third, the "Truth Terrorist" speaks over the phone with an electronically scrambled voice, presumably to hide his or her identity. Everything he says is critical to the plot; too bad we can't understand a word of it.
We watch lots of British TV but this is the first where this problem has really impaired our enjoyment.
