Possessions

Just finished it (see earlier review) I really loved it. I don't want to give spoilers. The folklore theme was very enjoyable. Get past the lousy dubbing, turn on the subtitles and watch this. Outstanding performances by the whole cast.

Haven't finished any episodes as yet & therefore review doesn't contain spoilers that im aware of. Not sure y ppls r complaining already about series. Me personally I hate reading subtitles on any program, totally detracts from actual show itself, u have to continually pay attention to fast moving words across the screen while any kind of action might be happening on the screen, @ the same time ain't no one has patience for that, another thing if the show has a hot chicks in it, & decent story telling not great but decent. Y is every one complaining?

4 star rating is generous. 8 star acting but the story line (which I mistakenly thought was cultural-gone-awry) devolved after episode 2. Dubbing is impossible to read as it is yellow, tiny, and thin modern font. Dubbing randomly worked and not at all during last episode.

Saw rwo episodes through Filmin. It's not dubbed and it has subtitles in Portuguese. I m really looking forward to watching other episodes. The French bride is brilliant. I also like the profile of the police and consul representative. For me it's 7 stars.

I'm watching this show on HBO Max. According to the message at the start of the show, viewers can choose between subtitles and dubbing. However, someone forgot to make the subtitle option available so the only way to watch is with dubbing. Normally that wouldn't be a problem--I've enjoyed several other shows in their dubbed versions, including Veneno, which is also on HBO Max. But the dubbing here is AWFUL. The voice acting is horrendously over the top, the voices do not match the actors at all (made all the more noticeable by the actors' real voices being used in Hebrew language portions), and the overall production value is terrible and does not blend into the existing soundtrack at all. For all the money HBO has you would expect them to do A LOT better than this. Also, if they're going to offer dubbing, why not dub the whole show? Right now the French portions are dubbed in English, but the Hebrew is not. So even if the dubbing was actually good, viewers who don't like subtitles would still be reading them for half of the show.
