Great production, but no subtitles translation for the Flemish on Acorn. Watch on BBC iplayer.
Came across 'Hidden Assets' after enjoying 'Acceptable Risk' on (Prime) Acorn.
Great production, was made even more enjoyable by the Irish / Belgium co-production of the series.
Good (optional) subtitles for the hard of hearing, although, giving deference to American spelling of English I can put up with, I draw the line at the insistence of the subtitle use of 'mom' when the actor has clearly said 'mum'.
But, what I found most frustrating about the screening on Acorn, and which I found very puzzling, was that there was no subtitle translation when the the Belgium characters spoke in Flemish, especially as there were more and more important scenes involving Flemish as the series progressed, making it hard to discern what was going on!
However, I read that the programme had been shown, in the past, on BBC, and found out that the whole series is available on BBC iplayer, accessed it there, and, low and behold, it comes complete with subtitle translation of the Flemish, as well as the option for subtitles for the hard of hearing, meaning that I didn't miss a single turn and twist of the dialogue of this many nuanced, excellently executed, highly enjoyable, suspense filled production!
