So I just started rewatching the show. Many of the gentle jokes about Britishness work, but they drop a huge clanger in episode 1 that, if I recall, continues.

Rebecca offers Ted tea, the joke being his sequence of coffee requests are ignored. The owner of a football team would absolutely have the means to provide someone with a cappucinno. We drink a ton of coffee here.

What’s worse, however, is that they repeatedly show Rebecca drinking black tea out of a glass. Anyone who has spent any time in the UK would know that this practice, while not unheard of (drinking black tea is a bit more common in other parts of Europe) would be extremely unusual.

I like the show a lot, but feel a bit sad that jokes about the British drinking tea, such low-hanging leaves (hur hur), were bungled.

Just thought I’d mention this!
