What TV are you watching?

Watching Southland. It's a cop show but one of those filmed by following the actors around as if it's a documentary. Not bad

Only one comment on The Traitors? I'm surprised. It's been reported as having been watched by shedloads of people - approaching ten million, which is unheard of these days. Watched the last celeb series, at er indores's instigation, quite enjoyed it, persuaded to give this one a go, astonished by what I can't but see as Richard E Grant's astonishing blunder. You can see how much he wanted to do it, and it dropped in his lap, and it looks like he's thrown it away. What a twit.

Am loving the various memes that get served to me about this:
Joshua volunteers at a local holistic wellbeing centre whilst Jemima runs an organic almond dairy. Their budget is 1.75 million pounds.

i have no idea what you're on about. The builder/architect/client in episode 3 I think was called Seb, and it was financed with a £420K mortgage.

I have found that to pretty much be the case for all foreign language programmes/films. Original language and subtitles is far more superior and now my default. This started with the original showing of Das Boot which was more than a couple of weeks ago. 😉

One which did work well with dubbing was "Munich, Beer and Blood", about gangsterish rival brewers in said city. Rather cleverly I thought, they'd gone for consistent Brummie accents for the dubbed version, conveying that this was a regional city rather than the capital.

Also regarding subtitles , in the wonderful Cyrano de Bergerac movie with Gerard Depardieu, the English subtitles are in rhyming couplets, done be Anthony Burgess of Clockwork Orange fame

That would make a refreshing change as most dubbing is flat and emotionless.
