Oi I sympathize. I had no trouble understanding those in Broadchurch but we watched an Irish movie the other day and I missed the opening banter while my brain adjusted to the accents.

look, accents are hard. I find some very specific regional ones tough, but Tennant is one of the clearer Scots, while still very Scottish, right up with with Craig Ferguson
Pen Again
no offense to this Texan but sometimes American is just as bad (but I watch lots of things with subtitles . I just process it better.)

I went to New England once and they had this old timer join us on the bus and tell a story... I have no idea what the story even was about. It just sounded like mumbling.

as a non-native speaker I'm 100% convinced that watching anything English with captions is not a requirement but an imperial need.

I mean they are different, but as accents go they're not exactly the most different XD

At one point my Grandparents came to visit for an hour and were talking about the trip from FL
CChuuni
After they left Kyle was like "So that sure was a CUH thing"

And Moosey and I were just ???????????????????????????????? and my Dad instantly knew because my Dad's accent was so bad in the military, almost no one could understand him until he forced it TV acceptable (NYC)

This is also why Received Pronounciation is a thing in UK/BBC because the accents vary 30 km
CChuuni
"Cuh" = Car btw

I mean I can pronounce Rs, but if they're at the end of words >>;
