Possessions

This looks like a good story and through the first episode it is. Then in the second episode, it's almost all in Hebrew! And the dubbing! OMG! Seriously! SERIOUSLY!!! Come on! They have clearly spent their entire budget on advertising at HBO Max. I would love to see some good content out of the Middle East and think it could be culturally significant. Can you guys please get it together!

I gave it 4 stars for the effort, and it does look to be well done, other than the whole dubbing situation!

The negative first: I cannot argue with the other reviewers. The dubbing is absolutely awful. I don't mind subtitles at all and would have preferred if the whole thing was just subtitled. I watched the first 10 minutes wondering why only the French was dubbed in English (then read your reviews and turned on my subtitles, thanks). Also, voices do NOT match the characters at all. But... The positive: it's an intriguing storyline with great characters and a good hook. As bad as the dubbing is, it's not stopping me from watching. At the end of every episode there's an AH HA moment that makes me want to watch more. I'm 3 episodes in. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this weekend. You have to decide for yourself. If you are looking for an "easy watch" this isn't it. I like the cultural clashes, crazy mother, strange sisters, French hero and of course who doesn't love an amnesiac bloody bride?? give it a shot

Just finished it (see earlier review) I really loved it. I don't want to give spoilers. The folklore theme was very enjoyable. Get past the lousy dubbing, turn on the subtitles and watch this. Outstanding performances by the whole cast.

Saw rwo episodes through Filmin. It's not dubbed and it has subtitles in Portuguese. I m really looking forward to watching other episodes. The French bride is brilliant. I also like the profile of the police and consul representative. For me it's 7 stars.

If dubbing spoils your viewing then take a subtitled option. If something is any good you soon forget whether you've been reading and it comes naturally.
