You can turn off the English dub via language settings. I'd highly recommend watching the original language version, the dub makes the main character seem a bit more comical than intended, I feel.

Agreed, I watched the whole series, sometimes with dubbing, sometimes with subtitles, the same with 'Money Heist'..... All in all I have no problems with subtitles as sometimes the dubbing leads to a very 'comical' sounding character.

Well I have Netflix and Amazon Prime and the whole Sky menagerie but my favourite channel is still BBC4. It's nice to sit and not have to watch mind numbing advertising and I see that on streaming with some providers, they've stopped you being able to fast forward during the adverts. If you add up the cost of Netflix, Amazon and Sky the licence fee is a piddling amount ... but I see there are hints coming out of this government that the BEEB should go down the privatization route. For the cost of one pint of beer per week I figure it's a good deal.

Some programs do, but not many. They tend to blend in IMDB series which have admittedly minimum advertising. But there's some good TV on Amazon Prime.

I see Netflix are going resurrect the superb American cop show 'Justified,' (actually Federal Deputy Marshall show) although I don't know if it's going to be another series or a TV movie. It was a favourite of mine as Timothy Olyphant played a bemused law officer sent back to his homeland in Harlan Kentucky from Florida after going a bit 'Dirty Harry' (which he does a lot.) Based on an extended short story by Elmore Lenard, a prolific writer of many of the great films you've probably seen over the years, and endless short stories and books. 'Justified' has his usual mix of terrific characters and dialogue. Here is one of the songs you'll hear on the series, fits the style of it perfectly.

Season 2 of 'Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls' as I'm seeing Mark Watson live in a couple of weeks and his show is about his experience on it.

Finished 'Stay Close' and 'The Witcher' on Netflix and now something more cheery (ish) with the new series of 'After Life.'

I've gotten into watching "The Island with Bear Grylls" after watching the celebrity one mentioned above. It makes for surprisingly compelling viewing.

Have also really been enjoying "The Green Planet" in recent weeks.

Still re-watching 'Friends'.

If it's any consolation, I cried most of the way through the last 3 (?) series.... I don't really like Ricky Gervais, but he's so touching in this... Along with the lady on the bench (Penelope Wilton) , and Roxy (Rosin Conty).
