I do have to say that in general. Netflix investing in countries to make there own content and sharing it with the world is so fuckin awesome. I have watched a few shows listed above and back months nows.
Watching a show in another countries style and flavor is very refreshing. Hollywood must hate it with a passion.
Believe it or not, that show was produced by the franco-german public television station arte and not netflix.
That Arte that is also known for :
showing 3 hours of bulgarian dance theater, subtitled
just subtitling french and not dubbing it
correcting the grammar of non-public tv stations twitter accounts on twitter
a program that showed people working, uncut, uncommented, for one hour, I watched an italian man construct a dry stone wall in front of picturesque countryside
No profit-driven streaming service could do something like that
In all fairness, dubbing isn’t all that common. In most countries you only get subtitles.
If anything, dubbing is a bad thing because it limits people’s exposure to English, which also means they won’t be as good at it.
If I visit a country I can tell right away if they use subtitles or dub their shows and films. All I need to do is talk to 5 middle-aged people. If they use subtitles there, 4 out of 5 will speak English good enough. If they dub, it’s 1 out of 5 if I’m lucky.
Ive missed a lot of movies people would say are ‘must see’ movies, finally saw one of the ones I just never got around to, it was pretty good 7/10 for me
I have been binge watching this TV show called “Happy”. There are only two seasons of this show, and might not be renewed for a third season, which is a shame.
A friend of mind suggested this show to me a couple weeks ago, and I started getting around to it. The first season is 8 episodes long, and has a basic premise of a man who is trying to rescue his daughter from a kidnapping ring. He has help from her imaginary friend name d"Happy" who he can only see. It’s based on a comic book series, I think.
Season 2 is much bigger in scope and goes much deeper in the child kidnapping ring. It is 10 episodes long and I am at episode 5.
Just binged it. First two episodes are a bit slow but everything pays off in the end. No filler episode, good pace, … overall it’s a damn solid season. Highly recommended!
finally pulled some time to watch Captain Marvel, gotta say it was alright at the beginning but the end just fumbled a lot of the flow it created and just went blehh.
6.5/10 from me.
Saw that listed, next on my watch list.
Last good naval film I saw was made in Korea.
Can’t believe no one in Hollywood made a film on the Starke or the Samuel B Roberts.
If Hollywood decides to make a descent film the US Navy goes out of their way to help, they told the makers of Stargate SG-1 to draw an “X” on the snow, point their camera’s, and they would have a nuke attack boat surface right on the X
