I enjoyed this series, but felt that the whole thing was let down by the sound recording/mixing.
For whatever reason, they've had to employ an awful lot of what's called ADR, where the actors replace the original location sound with a re-recording of it in a sound booth.
The reasons for doing this are usually due to problems at the location, or because somebody screwed up somewhere in the sound production chain.
It wouldn't be so bad if the ADR was done well, but at times it's just plain distracting. It's not just the ADR that's the problem - the sound mix just doesn't match up to the quality of performances and the pictures.
I'd be curious to know what went wrong.
