I am so bored with the lack of new content that I have started watching more foreign language stuff. I’ve watched Swedish, German, and Danish shows in the last 6 weeks and have generally enjoyed it.

Just finished The Valhalla Murders, which is Icelandic. What a weird-sounding language. Anyway, not bad. Other than a long gay dude kissing scene.

8 episodes. Would recommend.

Btw, Icelandic women are not very hot.

Dont know anything about this show but you are wrong about Icelandic women.
Was station there a year, catch a flight to Reykjavik.

"Fortitude" has some cute Icelandic women. Solid show (season 1 at least, haven't seen s2).

I just can't watch them due to horrible voice overs.

9/10 you just need to watch it with subtitles. If you read at a high school level or above it is easy.

This reads like a Haiku version of an old Netflix customer review.

My wife and I watched it. We liked it. Try some of the Finnish programing. Bordertown and Deadwind are good. In the Finnish shows at some point they speak a little English to show they can. You've probably seen Marcella (English). If not watch that. Oh and watch Hinterland (Wales). It's pretty good also. That's a bunch of Euro murder mystery shows.

The wife and I went to England via Wow Airlines a few years ago. All of the Icelandic flight attendants were fine. I dubbed them the Yaya Girls, as in "you need fresh drink, ya?" or "you join mile high club, ya?" and "floof your pillows, ya?" The wife didn't think it was as amusing as I did.

There's actually a better way of doing it, you just have to read.

I've never watched a show that has had a dub over. It's unbearable.

The French limited series La Revolution is good as is the German Babylon Berlin series.

Very good but the ending left me flat..... Should have gone a little further into the political changes....

I watched the first episode of Dark that way and didn't like it (it's German). I went back a few months later and did subtitles instead and binged all three seasons in 4 days. That show was killer!
