Update: I started watching episode 1 and there are a lot of scenes where people are speaking but no subtitles appear. Decided not to watch and wait for a better version to appear.

I watched an episode, from a pack 21.71GB tagged with SMURF - it seems good. There shouldn’t be an issue, it’s from netflix, it’s not like it’s fansubbed.

 

Also, interestingly, the first episode defaulted to dubbed English audio, I never use a dub, never since watching Shaw bros. Martial arts movies, and it sounded like the actual Fauda actors did the dub, it was well done, I watched the first action scene at the beginning before it dawned on me. 

 

But I hear you, I tried watching Sky Roja last night, it didn’t have English subs, along with hundreds of other languages it has the English hard of hearing subs (like with [Music Playing] .. then the lyrics) - it confused me no end so gave up waiting for a PROPER version.

Open the sub titles menu there are several sets of English subs shown the first set are forced and poor as you describe, the ones below those work perfectly. they are called Track 4 and SDH

Just started watching the new series of Godfather of Harlem I can’t believe they changed the actor for Malcom X .. The new guy isn’t as good by a long way .. it has totally ruined it for me.

Hmm. That's the version that I downloaded (Smurf 21.71GB). Just noticed the post from @Rimmer about other subtitles.  Will revisit.

The Chemistry of Death

 

The Chemistry of Death follows a forensic anthropologist as he helps local police in a race against time, when bodies begin turning up in the tranquil English countryside that he has recently made home.

Accused, and pleasant surprise, after reading the 1 negative ish review;

Trailer is terrible, and I wonder if that's all the reviewer saw.

Anyone came across Living (2022) anywhere?

Bill Nighy is one of my favourite

The Mayor of Kingstown.

I just stumbled across it out of boredom. I was reading a news article about Renner's accident and it mentioned the show.  I'm now on the first season, second episode.  Man...gritty and intense. 
It's difficult to find novel TV shows that aren't the same old, same old stuff or a reboot.  Nothing much original any more which is why I seldom watch TV.
This is an interesting twist.  Some critics panned it, but what to critics know.  Good stuff!  Now onward with Season 1. 

Thumbs Up

The White Lotus

 

Mike White's social satire ...

 

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13406094/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

[Jingthing]

There was a hilarious satire of White Lotus on last weekend's Saturday Night Live. Otherwise it was dominated with numerous hilarious George Santos bits. Saturday Night Live is still sometimes worth watching!

There is a great documentary on BBC iPlayer called "How the Holocaust Began" and as I've always been interested in that subject I decided to watch it, and was so pleased that I did.

 

One of the reasons was that when I was in my teens and working in a factory in the UK, we had a German guy who was responsible for running the boilers, and I saw some footage of the concentration camps on TV and asked him how on earth this happened/how could they do this?

 

His response was that the German people never knew these things were happening and therefore were powerless to stop it/them, however there were some critics at the time who laid waste to this argument, suggesting that with such a huge scale of events going on, someone must have noticed.

 

This documentary puts paid the original argument and it is both disturbing and disgusting, and is well worth a watch IMO.

I've met lots of Germans, none of them ever admit any of their family were Nazis.

Aldo "the Apache" (Inglourious Bastards) had the answer. 

At the start 30% of the population voted for Hitler.

At the end 90% supported Hitler and 15% were registered Nazis.

Not such a popular version about how it all started and ... where.

I've just started watching Line in the Sand (HaShotrim) season 1. It's a crime drama, set in Israel. 

Very good IMHO and well worth a look.

Storyline: Alon Shenhav, a top police detective based in Tel Aviv, is asked to return to his hometown of Nahariya as a detective officer for a year. When he returns, he discovers that the town is under control of  a criminal organization operating with impunity, run by Maor Ezra. Alon understands that in order to fight Ezra, he must first restore the public status of the seemingly apathetic police department in the city.

This has already been recommended by @Will27 I got it from 1337x and it's also available elsewhere.

My apologies if I am wrong--but isn't the Alphabet written words,  Hebrew, But the spoken language Yiddish? 

 

yer.. I guess as I was writing about subs--then that would be Hebrew, my bad.

 

Yiddish is the language of the Ashkenazim, central and eastern European Jews and their descendants.

Written in the Hebrew alphabet, it became one of the world's most widespread languages, appearing in most countries with a Jewish population by the 19th century. Yiddish language | Britannica

Ep 1 definitely better than 2.  Hope 3 & 4 (have) get better, or I'll be giving it a pass.
