"White Lines": Spectators totally annoyed by one detail - "I had to switch off the series"

"White Lines" is well received by Netflix users. But not all viewers managed to watch the series to the end. Guilt is a detail.

• "White Lines" has been high in the Netflix Top 10 for several days .
• The series comes from "House of Money" creator Álex Pina .
• But one detail disturbs many viewers.

When it became known that "House of Money" creator Álex Pina had a new series in store, the euphoria of many Netflix users was very great. The series doesn't seem to disappoint most viewers either, because it has been in the top 10 most watched series * of the streaming service for several days (as of May 26, 2020).

However, not all users are satisfied with Pina's new work. On the Internet, viewers complain in particular about a detail that annoys many.

"White Lines" on Netflix: One detail annoys many viewers

The annoying detail said was spared all those who watched "White Lines" in German synchronization. However, if you prefer the English version and are familiar with the dialects of the language, you may be able to understand the suffering of some Twitter users.

Specifically, many viewers complain about the dialect of the characters who come from the British city of Manchester - including main character Zoe (Laura Haddock) . All of these figures imitate the language coloring typical of the city - but most of them do not seem to be able to do this in a realistic way.

On the contrary: The attempts of the actors - who are not from Manchester themselves - are so pitiful that individual Netflix users had problems watching the series until the end :

Trying to get into white lines but these northern / Manchester accents are terrible

"I'm trying to develop an interest in the 'White Lines' series, but this northern Manchester dialect is just horrible," writes a desperate viewer. Another user admits that she had to cancel the series after a few episodes :

Questionable manny accents on white lines I had to turn it off

"Questionable Manchester dialect of the 'White Lines' actors. I had to switch off the series," explains the Netflix user.

Will there be a second season of "White Lines" on Netflix despite the fierce criticism?

Whether "White Lines" receives a second season * or not is currently still in the stars. Since the series was even at number 1 of the Netflix top 10 at times , the click counts seem to be very high, which could speak for a sequel. 

Incidentally, it is unlikely that Álex Pina's work will be discontinued due to the dialect criticism. If this is the case, several factors may play a role.
