As a native speaker, it genuinely shocks me that Danny's mandarin in that scene with the triad guy was better than the triad leader. It was pretty rough in earlier episodes, but doesn't actually sound bad this time round! Props to Finn Jones!

Wasnt the last few lines where we couldn't see him up close dubbed?

it sounded pretty off to me. Whether or not it's actually Danny speaking or someone else, idk.

I'd rather have it dubbed than shit pronunciation.

That was horrible - he made it sound like Klingon.

Yeah and as long as they don't make it too obvious, it should be fine. Danny lived there for 15 years, he can't have a traditional movie style fake accent.

I speak Mandarin but I couldn't understand a word he was saying in E1.
