Karl Urban sounds like Dick Van Dyke in the original Mary Poppins film . The Boys is a good show but what spoils it for me is Karl Urban's appalling British accent . It's comical! . So when he's trying to be verbally threatening and abusive , it's laughable.and he sounds s.tupid . Also the cockney phrases he uses are ridiculous , nobody speaks like that! And he uses them in the wrong context! . And his intonation is wrong! It's terrible ! It's a big show with 4 seasons , so I would have thought that they would have had an excellent voice coach. . But clearly they haven't . I'm shocked that the director accepted this terrible British accent from Urban ! Karl Urban is good actor so I'm surprised that he accepted that his accent sounded British cockney . They should have let him keep his native New Zealand accent. The show would have been great if the main male lead playing a 'tough guy ' didn't sound like a comical character in a Disney Comedy movie.
