Amazon Prime Video, what gems have you found? (NO SPOILERS)
Discussion
I'm finding there are loads of foreign language series that are well worth watching with subtitles. However I'm coming across some that are unwatchable because instead of the original language and English subtitles it's been dubbed in English and the dubbing is just excruciating. Not even up to the terrible "White Horses" standard. I just bailed on "Who Killed Him" which was very highly rated and showed promise. I reckon in the original Spanish with English subtitles it would have been fine.

You can choose to watch shows in the original language with subtitles. You're not stuck with dubbed audio, which is universally s

RoboDoc
as other have said - this is a great doc. - full of detail and style, and the cast/crew are just talking about everything - no annoying voice overs.
excellent
I just finally finished episode 4 now. It really is brilliant. as other have said - this is a great doc. - full of detail and style, and the cast/crew are just talking about everything - no annoying voice overs.
excellent
It's a bit of a time investment at 69+78+70+85 = 302 mins (that's 5 hours), but really well worth watching.
As you say, no annoying narration. And the music and graphics were totally spot on for late 80's too.
Utterly superb.

It's a shame that many can't get on with subtitles. I watch lots of foreign stuff and it's usually superior to the tile after tile of general dross on offer. Deaths Game is just one amongst thousands. The big problem with Prime is that the UI and search is so utterly st that these things are often only found by accident or the people also watched rabbit hole.
With the exception of Das Boot I've never got on with subtitles unless they are on for very short periods of time in a predominantly English speaking production. I was looking forward to Griselda but gave up due the prominence of subtitles. It's odd how they affect people differently t that these things are often only found by accident or the people also watched rabbit hole. Kermit power said:

I used to hate subtitles but over a decade with Mrs DG have got me to the point where I now miss them (and some of the sound mixes these days are dreadful!)
anywho - coming next month. Works for me
