Psi

As someone with a considerable background in writing and acting, when I watch a TV series, I am very attuned to each scene, line of dialogue, shot, sequence, characterization, etc. I think PSI, in its first season, is extremely good. I'd rate seven or eight of the episodes a "10." Consider that the series is basically contrived as people who either sit around talking or interacting in small groups. There are no extravagant visual effects or sound effects or FSX to mesmerize you. The episodes do require you to remain focused on the various inter- and intrapersonal conflicts that arise between and among the characters, and even though some of the episodes address some rare or arcane psychological issues, the plots and stories are nearly always plausible and interesting. Bravo to the actor Emilo de Mello, who as Dr. Carlo subtly displays a range of emotions convincingly and honestly. The same with the rest of the regular cast.

Why are there no English subtitles available after the first episode? Had to stop watching this series after only one episode. Too bad because it seemed interesting.

Turned HBO on demand, want to watch this Brazilian show,and for my immense frustration and disappointment, the show is in Spanish language! Im from Rio, and i want to watch the show in the original idiom, not Spanish! This is a total disrespect! HBO has done the same thing in the past with Brazilian shows, putting Spanish idiom over the Portuguese, like there are no Brazilians that would try to watch and appreciate a good Brazilian show! I doubt anyone from Brazil will be happy when they try to watch the show, and for their total deception, the show will be in Spanish, a idiom that should be used in Spanish movies only! With all respect, im sure people will understand my frustration about this!

Based on just first episode, this is a great show. Wanted to clarify/updated for everyone that it's not dubbed into Spanish. It's in Portuguese with English or Spanish subtitles. I didn't use the English subtitles much since I speak Portuguese, but I thought the translation was very poor from what I saw.

Amazing show. I do not understand how everyone qualifies the fact that it is not in the original language, rather than qualifying the series. The scenery, photography, acting and scripts are excellent. Highly recommended for those who like series such as Dr. House or The Good Doctor. This to the height of the great series.
