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.
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
First of all, DO NOT WATCH with the English dub. It is unbearly cringy and ruins the show (as other reviewers have noted). I recommend watching in the native French and Hebrew with English subtitles.
The show itself is exceptional. It begins as an intriguing murder mystery, but by the end, it evolves into a folklore take of sorts about a young woman seizing control of her life. The actors are very impressive, notably the main character, and her mother.
Personally, it was simply refreshing to see a show not set it or shot it or focused on America in any way. It's a look into the realistic lives of people across the world with different background and beliefs that are usually seen on American television. It is worth the time to watch

Haven't finished any episodes as yet & therefore review doesn't contain spoilers that im aware of. Not sure y ppls r complaining already about series. Me personally I hate reading subtitles on any program, totally detracts from actual show itself, u have to continually pay attention to fast moving words across the screen while any kind of action might be happening on the screen, @ the same time ain't no one has patience for that, another thing if the show has a hot chicks in it, & decent story telling not great but decent. Y is every one complaining?
I actually watched the whole thing. I won't add any spoilers. The first episode is the best and gets you hooked. The story is interesting, and each episode takes you in a different direction. I enjoyed seeing something modern from a different culture yet mixed with folklore. The characters are intriguing but unfortunately the acting is lost with the hideous audio issues.
Had the dubbing/subtitles been even ok I think this would be an excellent series. Strangely only the French is dubbed in English and all other languages have no subtitles. I struggled at first until I turned the closed captioning on. Which unfortunately becomes distracting as the voiceovers are terrible. I wish it had either been dubbed better with all the languages or just had subtitles. The voiceovers are lackluster and as if it's just being read with no inflection. I'm sure the actors were probably much better in the real languages. This makes it a struggle to keep yourself immersed in the story. If you can get through these terrible mistakes the series is worth watching as it's only six episodes.
I would love to see more content like this in the future but done well. HBOs series The Investigation is a great example. I wish this had been done as well as that.
