I was disappointed that the whole show is dubbed in Spanish and I cannot override it by any means even though II put English as the preferred language everywhere I could in the programming. I really like Aldus Hodge having seen him playing a great roe in the TV series, Leverage. It is also really oo bad we have a Spanish voice emitted by him, as I recall he had a very distinctive and outstanding voice. Also as another reviewer noted, the whole series is filmed in a way that is far too darker us to be able to perceive a lot of what is going on. Still I enjoy the way the plot develops and even though it is serial killer standard fare, it's still worth seeing.
I saw two English language versions of The Bridge before I got to this'd one and there is no comparison. The intricacies of the investigation are stellar but what makes this so superior was its treatment of the human relationships Saga goes through. In the English versions she is just weirdly cold and unknowable. Here, each of her quirks has a deep origination and motivation. And her relationship with her final partner is outstanding in this respect.
Each of the seasons is a real winner and I would recommend it to anyone who appreciate richly complicated plots and detective intelligence. And the acting is superb.

This documentary of the life and the architectural production by one of the finest architects the US has ever known is truly wondrous. From his orphaning at 4 years old to his patient and steady acquisition of the tools he needed to accomplish his desire--to become an architect--is a trajectory not to be missed. While his early teachers told him no Black person could become an architect ['your Black clients would be too poor; and white rich people wouldn't hire you'] he vaulted to true architectural stardom. His gorgeous, unique designs found love from Sinatra to Cary Grant. He contributed to both his family and the Black community in unbelievably generous and thoughtful ways.
