Covert Affairs: Begin the Begin (2011)
Season 2, Episode 1
1/10
I couldn't enjoy this episode because of its ignorance
5 January 2014
This episode was embarrassing to watch.

Firstly - Estonia has no promethium mines.

Secondly - there was no mysterious change after we went to Euro. It's simply another currency.

Thirdly - Estonian language is not even similar to Russian language. The Estonian accent is completely different from the Russian accent. These two languages have no similarities.

Fourthly - Those "Estonian" phrases used during the car chase were just some mumblings. After listening to them at least ten times I found not a single syllable that might have given any idea what she was yelling.

Whenever foreign characters/languages/countries are used in (American) movies I find it typical that not even a single research has been done while writing the script.

At least get the names right and don't use Russian names.
