Possessions

This looks like a good story and through the first episode it is. Then in the second episode, it's almost all in Hebrew! And the dubbing! OMG! Seriously! SERIOUSLY!!! Come on! They have clearly spent their entire budget on advertising at HBO Max. I would love to see some good content out of the Middle East and think it could be culturally significant. Can you guys please get it together!

I gave it 4 stars for the effort, and it does look to be well done, other than the whole dubbing situation!

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?

First of all, DO NOT WATCH with the English dub. It is unbearly cringy and ruins the show (as other reviewers have noted). I recommend watching in the native French and Hebrew with English subtitles.

The show itself is exceptional. It begins as an intriguing murder mystery, but by the end, it evolves into a folklore take of sorts about a young woman seizing control of her life. The actors are very impressive, notably the main character, and her mother.

Personally, it was simply refreshing to see a show not set it or shot it or focused on America in any way. It's a look into the realistic lives of people across the world with different background and beliefs that are usually seen on American television. It is worth the time to watch

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.
