Un asunto privado (2022)
Watch this in Spanish
The dubbing is as good as it could be, but after ten minutes I switched to the original Spanish with subtitles and, suddenly, what had been a bit tiresome became excellent. Also, it seems very likely that many of the language anachronisms were down to the poor translation demanded by the need for the lip-sync to be as smooth as possible. Before you give up on this, do what I did. You'll enjoy it a whole lot more. Though I don't disagree that it could have been tightened up considerably - it was a little slow in places. Now I'm wittering a bit to make up the character count. Never met that before!
The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box (2013)
Good
If you're 10. Well made, well shot, good production values all round except for the plot and the script, both of which are frankly risible. But if you're 10 that won't matter. Have fun.
Vienna Blood (2019)
Why only three????
This was as good, or even better, than anything I have seen in the genre for a long time. Never mind all the Sherlock comparisons, this was above all that. You don't have to like a character for them to be good. And, believe me, the acting was way better than many of the comparisons cited by some critics. Strong characters. Convincing set-ups. Credible plots and all this set against a background of the rising pan-European anti-semitism which culminated in the Nazis. Very pertinent to our own experience of a new rise of the Right across the globe. Timely, powerful and entertaining. So why only three????
