The Closer - anyone watch?

[MickeysMommy]

What the heck kind of accent is it supposed to be for Kyra?

It drives me batty!

Atlanta!

I love the Closer, but I haven't watched last night's episode yet so no spoilers!

Ok, but she holds her mouth so weird that it sounds funny

Yeah, you can tell she doesn't have a real Southern accent. Most people who fake one pour it on waaaay too thick. Most real Southerners don't have such a thick drawl.

She actually sounds like a lot of my relatives in Alabama

Some folks there sound like that; other's don't. She's supposed to be one of those that do.

We laugh at that accent all the time... I love her (and HECK that show makes a TON of money for Turner) but that accent???? Not good at all.

So who else is utterly impressed with Sosie Bacon's work the last few weeks (given that it is basically her first significant featured role, ever)? Other than the distraction that she looks much too much like Brenda's daughter instead of her niece )), her portrayal of the niece is spot-on, IMHO, so natural and believable and compelling, and makes the stiff and unimpressive performance of some of the other supporting characters (Buzz especially) even more jarring.

LOVE the closer! haven't missed an episode yet! being from alabama, i can safely say that brenda's accent is awful, lol, and YES, mine is much thicker than that. i still love the show and i think sosie has done an awesome job.
