Noah Centineo plays a fledgling lawyer at the CIA who becomes enmeshed in dangerous international power politics when a former asset threatens to expose the nature of her long-term relationship with the agency, unless they exonerate her of a serious crime.
I liked it. Had a bit much of the 'every character coincidentally knows each other' thing but I imagine that's just to save on casting. Pronunciation seemed fine to me - i.e. I had to slow it down to 1.8x with subs to watch it without backtracking. That signals to me they're talking closer to actual American speed rather than the excruciatingly slowed down dialogue a lot of shows have.

I thought the acting also great but not the diction pronounciation of words So many of the dialogies I had to guess what was being said.
Strange... but you could have used subtitles. :)

Not normally the sort of thing I would watch but tried it any way and a great series it is but tarnished by often poor diction making it hard to understand what they are saying - and it is the dialogue that is so important
I don't share that sentiment. Was there too much CIA terminology for your taste, or was it something else?
no just poor diction. bad actor training. or maybe you are american so that is normal, slurring words?
I'm not American but I talk to US folks every now and then. I thought the acting was mostly great.

Finished season 1! Good show, 8/10. The final three minutes could have been better, I hope it'll be renewed.

I wonder how much of the CIA insanity is based on reality. :D https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/the-recruit-burning-questions-answered doesn't answer everything, but it's better than nothing. :)
