Richard Rankin does a great job at a real Edinburgh accent. I know hes from Glasgow, but he really does a realistic version of an Edinburgh accent. Hes got all the Edinburgh nuances and expressions. I know a lot of people outside Scotland wont really know the difference. Theres been a few Scottish actors, usually from Glasgow, in the past, who didnt really try. But Richard nails it.

Yeah, but John Rebus is from fife.

@@stuartgrier5605 Good point, but from what I have read he seems to have moved to Edinburgh in the 1970s, after his stint in the army. Where he was based in Northern Ireland as young man. Though his backstory seems to change a bit between the books and TV adaptions. I think there is also a lot of similarities between the Fife and Edinburgh accent. If he has supposedly live in Edinburgh a long time, you would have think he picked it up a lot.

@@TheEggmaniac The Fife accent is harder than Edinburgh, but there are places in Edinburgh where the accent is very strong and difficult to follow. If you have not read any of the books, I would advise you read No1, No3 up to 6. I found No2 to be the weakest, probably because the publisher wanted another "Rebus book" and Rankin wrote it quickly. You will learn about the history of Rebus in the army and the SAS assesment, his wife Rhona and their daughter. I am going to give the TV show a miss for a while, I may go back to it when it's finished and I can watch them all in one sitting.

Series is surprisingly excellent. Acting superb, production in general is class, well shot and decent script for the most part.

I was surprised at how good this show was. Looking forward to a second series. Richard was brilliant in it. I remember him from Outlander but I think this show showed off his talent more.

@suerose7479 2 ай бұрын

Yes mainly because the scriptwriters in Outlander hadn’t understood the character, as they hadn’t read the books !

you haven't read any of Rankin's books then

@@Skyyskye who's 'we'? You haven't read the books. You don't know the characters as written by Rankin. Ergo you are under qualified to comment. Ergo your opinion is of little consequence.

ps try reading at least one novel in your life. It's a fantastic hobby and very illuminating

Binge watched this and found it riveting.

I am watching the series, but unfortunately I am not enjoying it as the story is nothing like the novels. In the tv show, his brother is an ex army, but in the books he is a hypnotist - like their father. His brother is convicted of drug dealing, but the tv show he is an armed vigilante who is waging a war on Edinburgh's crime barons. If i had not read the 24 Rebus novels I may have enjoyed it more. But as it is, i cannot see a second series. Pity.
