Oh, it’s more than that. Now, admittedly, I’m not from the Deep South; I’m from Virginia. My accent is not as pronounced as that of someone from Georgia (although my friend in Jersey would argue that point, LOL).
But the accents in the WD sound just like us, IMO. Actors who mangle Southern accents have always been a peeve of mine, so I appreciate when they’re well done.
Oh my.
Prayer out in the open on one of the biggest national TV shows going.
When southern accents are done by Hollyweirds, they invariably mimic Virginians.
