Castle (TV Series) Dead Red (2016) User Reviews

Didn´t they do their research?

I really like Castle and i have watched all the seasons in row. I like the characters and the plot. Usually i get bored after second or third season, but this one is a rear exception.

This episode is also all of those things BUT did anyone do even a little bit of research about Finland?? I could´t almost even watch this episode. It was so awkward. First of all, what was that accent? I am not an expert, but it sounded Slavic. Finnish does not actually sound like Russian because it belongs in to Finno-Ugric languages. That was a big fail. Our countries live next to each other, but it does not mean that out languages sound alike. Also, we do not hate russians. Last war against them was over 70 years ago and they are important to our economy. I do also have few russian friends.

Finland is not really known country and i would really appreciate if you would just stay in the facts. What comes to culture, Finland is more like Sweden. Swedish is also much more spoken in Finland than Russian.

I love Castle but what the heck is this

I've watched Castle many times and I always end up skipping this episode due to the gross misrepresentation of Finland. The biggest insult is the poor man's Russian accent, which is the most ridiculous accent I've heard trying to pass as Finnish. I mean Finnish people have such a specific way of speaking English that parallels pretty much no other European country. If they weren't going to go for a Finnish accent might as well have gone for a fin-sve accent, since the suspect is clearly Finnish-Swedish due to his name not being Finnish. That accent paralleled no Swedish accent either. They really should have gone generic accent if they weren't going to put in even two minutes of research. The producers got so lazy toward the end it seems.
