Although prefer original. Deutschland 83, is really enjoyable especially for its humour, which I didn't expect. Shetland isn't really a foreign language series but seems darker this time. Not yet watched Spin and feel I'm missing out, especially as recently discovered Gregory Fitoussi is in this, catch-up TV is about to be utilized. There was a french series about the dead involved in bus accident coming back years after accident, first series was interesting but second seemed lost as if writers did not know what to do with storyline.

I love Montalbano and always listen to the dialogue as well as the subtitles, not because I speak any Italian but in the hope of learning a few words of the language. You can also sense when the subtitles are missing some of the actual dialogue which makes for a richer experience. I also enjoyed the Swedish detective series set in the 1950s - it was wonderful to see a Princess cake which had been featured in Bakeoff appear on the table at a wake! I liked Borgen but didn't get into the Bridge. I love Shetland and "enjoyed" last night's episode although it was scary and my knitting faltered. Interestingly I can knit to Swedish subtitles, but not Montalbano - the Swedish ones seem to stay longer so I can look away and not miss anything!Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-25742704893922986462016-01-16T12:44:25.083+00:002016-01-16T12:44:25.083+00:00I'm liking The Young Montelbano much better th...I'm liking The Young Montelbano much better than the older model! The 'foodie' parts remind me of my days in Sicily. I watched 'Shetland' last night and so want to like it but it's so dreary in parts. Thank goodness for the scenic views!Good weekend to you, Angela.

When we were at a friend's house in Belgium once, the girls were watching Friends - which was in English, with Flemish subtitles, and we too got caught up with the words on screen, rather than what we were hearing.

One of them insists on having English subtitles on when we watch a film, which isn't a problem, and helps her to understand the storyline better, apparently. However, on one occasion, the girls were watching Pirates of the Caribbean, I think, and they had DANISH subtitles on [for the Danish girl] although the spoken language on the screen was English. Do you know, we were so taken up with watching [you can't say we were reading it!] the Danish subtitles, that we couldn't understand the English speech! It was as if our brains couldn't process it all at once....it was very strange!<br />TO answer your question, no, I have watched any of these shows, although the adverts and trailers for the German one did look appealing. I am very much looking forward to Shetland tonight and have the TV booked for that xxxMorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.com
