Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Carousel (2024)
Season 25, Episode 6
Poor research on Singaporean slang and accents
2 March 2024
It was fun to see that there was a Singaporean character in this episode. The only issue I had about this episode was that the Singaporean character had an American accent and nothing close to a Singaporean one. Plus, it was nice to hear a Singlish word, and correctly used, but it was pronounced "Anglo" and not "Ang Moh" while Anglo does refer to an English speaker, Ang Moh is the term used in Singapore to refer to a foreigner. Mostly directed to Westerners. I get that this is an American show, but the lack of research into foreign characters was a bit weak. This includes the accent on the Argentinian character was fully American as well.
