Totally agree, part way through series one of Money Heist I switched to the original Spanish version with English subtitles... so much better! Also feels more authentic, if that's the right word (I found the dubbed version voices a bit cheesy and not very well dubbed)
How do you switch to the original language? - Or is it simply a case of selecting "Spanish" from language settings?
When it’s playing in the settings for subtitles there’s also an option for listening language. So set that to Spanish and subtitles to English. so much better than the out of sync lips, feel like the whole thing flows better too
I'm excited to get home to watch Better Call Saul later. Definitely been the best series so far.
This series is brilliant, it's such a cleverly written programme and the characters are getting more familiar. I'm a bit apprehensive how they deal with Kim moving forwards but also very intrigued
@bolloxbolder glad to hear about Caliphate. My own search for Euro gems in the Netflix library has so far yielded stuff that’s generally below the level of the Scandi stuff or Spiral.
currently, for example, I’m ploughing through Marseille, starring Gerard Depardieu as the Mayor, standing for re-elečtion against his young protege who has turned on him. In its favour are loving depictions of the city, always bathed in sunshine, and depictions of industrial levels of casual shagging among the politicos, which I am starting to think is a running gag to lighten the proceedings. The trouble is the plot doesnt so much stretch credibility as suspend it completely. But it is strangely compelling.
Finished DEVS. I really enjoyed it. Visually very impressive. The sound mix was all over the place though. Often found myself turning volume up for dialogue......only to have to scramble for the remove later during a period of ear shattering sound effects.

I enjoyed both series of Marseille. Like you I have waded through loads of series. Caliphate was outstanding hence the recommendation. Some I have seen which were imo worth watching in the following order are La Mante - French Border Town Nobel Borderliner
Let me know if you enjoy any of the above. Just finishing the Trial. Wouldn't recommend. Very rarely do I like Italian stuff. Always look for French stuff and then nordic noir.

Thanks, mate. There is a second series of Marseille? I had not noticed that. Border Town, or Borderliner, which of those two is the Finnish one, featuring the cop who has moved up from Helsinki? Well, I tried it but I gave up because I found it too relentlessly grim. You know like in The Bridge, Saga's slightly autistic personality gives a bit of scope for the odd smile.
On Netflix, I could recommend to you "1983". It's Polish and described as "alt.historical", and has an Orwellian feel and theme to it. Features the young Polish actress who was in the BBC series "World on Fire"

Thought Quiz last night was excellent, looking forward to the next episode tonight
Lennie James is bloody brilliant
Unsure after the first but liking it more after tonight's second.
