Over the season so far, my wife and I have had two occasions to re-wind to properly hear something Delaney had said, but this "mumbling" is something quite common.
To this day, and I am the son of a Scotswoman, I can't understand 60% of what "Chibs" is saying on Sons of Anarchy. Tom Flannagan's from Glasgow, my mum was from Paisley.
it's not the accent, it's the mumbling. And we have a 100 watt sound system, so it's not a volume thing.
Heh. Chibs is one of the more intelligible characters for me, but then the Glasgow dialect isn't, as a rule, all that far away from my own, and I did spend a lot of time travelling over to Scotland over the years. I've not noticved a mumbling issue with Taboo, but I remember there being a huge hoo hah about it with the Beeb's Jamaica Inn a couple of years ago. (Never watched it myself, so I don't know what it was like).
