* JustAStupidAccent: Both averted and played straight. To avoid an enormous amount of subtitles (and actors having to sound fluent in languages they weren't fluent in), it was decided in season one that the Germans would speak German with subtitles while the French would just speak English with French accents. This continued in season two (necessitating Evelyne Brochu to speak some German), although Sabine and Helene switch to English fairly quickly in their friendship. In season three it was decided to do away with subtitles altogether and just have everyone speak English with various accents, presumably to keep Brochu from having to do a ton of scenes in German and Jack Laskey to have to master Polish. However, it's also unclear when certain characters are supposedly speaking the language and when they might actually just be using an accent, as in when they are pretending to be French but speaking to someone German and (accented) English might be their common language.
