Squid Game / Netflix
 

What ya think???

Love it. Seen 6 episodes so far.

I binged watched it in one day :1orglaugh

I thought it was great

Exactly the sort of thing that makes netflix worth having. Longer than a film but also not stretched out over an overly long season, meaning lots of filler. Plus not a subject that you are gonna get on normal TV, so yes, I apoove.

Wtf looks interesting

One thing I do like, is how netflix dubs the voices into your own language - And they do it in a way that makes you think its what they really said. It doesn't look dubbed at all. Very little disconnect from the words being said and the mouth movements. Not sure if they alter the mouths digitally, but it certainly works :)

Not bad, wondering if there will be a season 2.

I tought of something along these lines . . .

Is it really so good?
I was reading tons of positive reviews so far...

kinda fun so far. if you like squid games you might also like these other netflix movies i seen recently
- the platform
- level 16
and also (non netflix)
- circle
- cube

Will check it out.

It's just how good dubbing works - the writing and experienced speaker.

In Germany you get all foreign content dubbed in this quality.

I hear very good things about it, need to start watching it

I'm a couple episodes in. So far it's good. Not blockbuster good, but good.

yep, its fantastic, that's for sure :)

Do you really prefer dubbed content to subtitles and hearing the original language?

I rather suffer through reading the subs than listening to voice actors, no matter how good they are. It just feels so fake.

Not when its being done so well that I have difficulty believing that its NOT the real voices

Same trailer with English dubbing...

I tried watching it dubbed last night. It was an American voiceon a Korean actor. How is that believable?

Suspension of disbelief? I mean, if I see a Korean person in the street, and they are talking English, I dont look twice. Likewise if they were talking Korean, it wouldn't phase me.

I just see the Korean actors as talking in English. I just dont overthink it, and enjoy the story.

If it was really bad with an actor moving his or her mouth silently for an entire sentence as they animatedly react to something, and then right in the the middle a disinterested English voice just says 'No'... Then yeah, that's total crap...

But it isn't anything remotely even like that, so I enjoy it :)

ya basically you either want to enjoy content made in other languages, or you dont lol

some do a lot better job dubbing than others...

If they really wanted to make the dubbing believable, they'd use English speakers with a slight Korean accent.

+ Alice in Borderland (also on Netflix)

ya that works great on a few of the series and movies.

Rurouni Kenshin was awesome (2 movies)

Ragnarok was enjoyable too

Such a good show!

Typical Japanese Game Show...
 

Nothing to see here. Just your made in Japan game show :laughing-

if you like that show, you can also watch Alice In Borderland. Same concept, different interpretation. People trapped in some place and forced to play deadly games.

I shall add this to my list.

It's not a new thrme. A lot of these movies have been coming out lately.

Kind of reminds me of "Battle Royale" created in 2000

I agree, subs or bust... Dubs, no matter how well done, simply don't capture the same level of emotion, story detail, captivation, etc.

Have you actually tried it ? ie watched Squid Game?

Finished it last night - Dubbing was fantastic.

Classic! Awesome film, terrible sequel though...

Pretty awesome, just finished

Now available to poo in VR

On my list of new shows to watch.

Sorry, but that makes no sense. :)

Yes, the English dubs are terrible. English dubs are always terrible.
