Netflix's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," sequel to the 2019 movie "Knives Out," is garnering a warm reception from audiences and critics. But there's a catch.
Despite the positive reviews and good financial performance of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, there has been heated debate among viewers about the Southern accents of Daniel Craig and Janelle Monáe's character.
While viewers are more likely to agree that Janelle Monáe's accent is good, opinions on Daniel Craig's are drastically different.
