TV Series

I never use the dubbed voices. Use the german speaking and just watch with subtitles.
I find it far easier that way.

Can't do that as I dislike Germany language. Don't mind watching French or Geordie.

Not been able to watch anything dubbed since I saw the Flinstones in Mexico in the 80's

Aay Carumba.

Just finished Save Me Too and was pretty good. Actually developed better than I thought it would and sets it up for another series well.

Watched the first 2 episodes of ‘Succession’ last night. Struggling a little bit with the ‘humour’ in as far as I haven’t laughed once, just got irritated. Does this calm down as the season progresses?

I also think that the characters are unlikable and unrealistic. Is it worth sticking with?

I read a review of it which described it as an American comedy. I've only watched 2 episodes but it's certainly not a comedy

heard the characters are utter bastards. I’m tending to watch that doesn’t upset my stomach during this crap pandemic.

I’m the same with dubbed TV...just about manageable with Kung fu movies in the 70’s but that’s about it. Was going to watch Dark with my boy but not sure he’ll follow the subtitles (tried with my daughter and it doesn’t work for me).

On that note can anybody recommend anything to watch with their kids (my boy is 9). We’re just half way through Season 3 of Stranger Things and it’s an utter joy (the show as a whole)...ironically Dark has already been recommended. Anything else?

The characters take a bit of time to get used to, I seem to remember feeling the same. They are supposed to be uncomfortable to watch, it's the nature of the story as the children try to position themselves - without shame - as the successor, but you do begin to warm to them as it progresses. Definitely not a comedy, but it has its moments.

Artemis Fowl is on Disney+. Full of known faces and Kenneth Branagh directs it. Might even have a look myself, but of course the story will be pretty bland I guess as it's aimed at kids.

Thanks - added you the list

Just realised it's a film and not a series though, by the looks of it.

The first dubbed TV programme I saw was in Andorra in 1967, when I was on our Economics class's "field trip".
In a bar one night (we were 17/18) we sat enthralled as we watched the original "Batman" series dubbed into Spanish. "Holy Mackerel" didn't come close!
On that trip, I bought the brand new Beatles album, Sgt. Pepper's lonely Hearts Club Band, for the sterling equivalent of 12/6d! Still got it somewhere.

Just started Ozark. 2 episodes in and plenty of promise. Based on what I’ve read on here I’m really looking forward to it.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

I’ve started on Queen of the South, I’m about 6 episodes in, no mention of Scottish football at all.
Mexican drug gangs etc, it’s been excellent so far.

Das Boot S2 is on Sky Box sets at the moment.

I really enjoyed S1 and re-watching it as I can't remember the full story.

 

[grunge]

we watched Normal people, Really liked it, very well written and Acted but in general not a lot happened.

Is it dubbed or does it have "sub" titles?

It has subtitles, some of the French Resistance characters speak English.

So I know it’s been mentioned on here but I’ve just started watching Dark. Looks really interesting but I’m struggling with the dubbing. Does it get easier as it goes on? Is it worth sticking with?
