We're watching the original Korean with subtitles, and I don't think you can judge the acting - it all feels pretty natural to me We have been watching the dubbed version purely because my wife can’t see the subtitles without her glasses and refuses to go downstairs to get them…so I was reading It out to her…that gets old really quickly.! I agree you don’t get the real “emotion” of It all without the original language on It. You aren’t really judging the acting you are just judging the people responsible for the dubbed version. Interesting story, I once met the guy who was the Arnold Schwarzeneggers Italian dub person…they use the same people all the time for different actors….

Yeah agreed, and worse than that - there is an obvious disconnect between the emotions of the actor's face and the emotions in the (other) actor's voice, which our brains find hard to ignore.

Yeah, the main character seems to be the worst one and maybe the old man…oh and the annoying girl too.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 @@NottsRam on the theme of Italian made TV I meant to mention ZeroZeroZero. A lot of folk did not like it, least on here, perhaps because it's a tad downbeat and melancholy. Have a peep and see for yourself if you've not already. I think it's very good FWIW. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8332438/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also done McMafia and Gangs of London, both were okay as well but looking forward to watching Suburra and the new series of Gomorrah.

Couldn’t figure out whether it was because the filmmaker doesn’t understand how English people speak or it was some kind of commentary/satire.

TimRam Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 4 episodes into Alice in Borderland. Similar to Squid Game but the games are faster paced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Vincenzo Netflix. Another Korean programme where a Korean member of the Mafia, raised in Rome, goes back to Korea after the head of his family dies, to retrieve hidden gold under a dilapidated old plaza, gets caught up in a battle with an evil Pharmaceutical firm. whilst it has an annoying ‘comedy’ slant and some overacting, it’s pretty decent.

Would be interesting to see what a western production would make of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Two episodes in of The Undoing and it's pretty good in a seen it all before kinda way. Nicole Kidman is getting dangerously close to that tipping point with plastic surgery. Much more and she'll slide into trout territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Reasonable viewing on a Sunday evening. The remake of Darling Buds of May was easy mildly amusing TV followed by the dark Angela Black drama then MotD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh grant is great in that show…I enjoyed It but just like the Squid Game I thought the ending of It was obvious from episode 1.

TuffLuff Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Currently halfway through the Bad Sport docs on Netflix and it’s been really good so far, highlight has been the episode on the Juventus scandal from the mid 00’s but the first two before it are worth a watch too.

Alph Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 We watched Squid Game and i would have given up if the Mrs didn't push us through it. In the end I thought it was decent but not especially good. However my big issue with it was the ridiculous script and annoying characters. But that's because I watched the dubbed version. Nobody who watched it in Korean with subtitles seems to have the same complaints. There's a woman who every time she speaks I wanted to turn off. Horrible. Cringey parts in the dubbed version like "Let's play odds versus evens. You do know what odd and even are don't you?" "Urgh.... no. I don't know" And "Hey, we should make a team and work together. We will be stronger for every game if we approach it as a group and help each other to survive to the next round" "You guys think you are so strong huuuuh? You don't want a woman on your team huuuuh? I will show you huuuuh? Hahahahhahah" Felt like I was losing brain cells sometimes. Best show on Netflix? Not even top 3 best foreign language show/movie.
