Much has been made of the decision to use American accents in The Odyssey, but after rewatching some scenes from Gladiator, I find the English accents quite jarring. People's natural accents just fade into the background in a way a fake English accent doesn't.

The only times the accents took me out of The Odyssey were when some of the English actors, notably Himesh Patel, didn't quite nail the accent. I think it would probably have been better if he'd just spoken normally.
