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.

If dubbing spoils your viewing then take a subtitled option. If something is any good you soon forget whether you've been reading and it comes naturally.

The negative first: I cannot argue with the other reviewers. The dubbing is absolutely awful. I don't mind subtitles at all and would have preferred if the whole thing was just subtitled. I watched the first 10 minutes wondering why only the French was dubbed in English (then read your reviews and turned on my subtitles, thanks). Also, voices do NOT match the characters at all. But... The positive: it's an intriguing storyline with great characters and a good hook. As bad as the dubbing is, it's not stopping me from watching. At the end of every episode there's an AH HA moment that makes me want to watch more. I'm 3 episodes in. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this weekend. You have to decide for yourself. If you are looking for an "easy watch" this isn't it. I like the cultural clashes, crazy mother, strange sisters, French hero and of course who doesn't love an amnesiac bloody bride?? give it a shot

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.
