Isn't the accent supposed to sound 'off'? The character is an American with dissociative personality disorder. I suspect as the series goes on, we'll discover that the British accent is an unconcious immitation. Oscar Isaac can do a very good British accent (see Agora), so I imagine he's intentionally doing a 'American trying to do a bad British accent'.That might be an issue. I found it jarring in the trailers because it's so different to his usual voice but I have met londoners with a similar accent and he nails the small turns of phrase and IMO sells it pretty well. It's not Dick Van Dyke.
