Oddly, I had NO problems understanding each and every word they said. I did, however, had to explain some of it to my wife and kids.
Hell, me and mine going back centuries are all from New England and I didn't have much trouble understanding them. Some of the Maine relatives aren't much different from the H&M's, except they have some of Edison's lightning bulbs and their accents are a different funny.

I've watched episodes 1 & 2 in hour segments (after my little guys go to bed) and will start 3 tonight. I've enjoyed it.
