Has anyone watched "Dear Child" on Netflix?

I'm 3 episodes in, and WOWZERS! It's a German import which you can watch in the original with subtitles, or dubbed in English (I chose the latter, and it's well done). I'm 3 episodes in and it's CRAZY! I can't really begin to summarize the plot, but if you like mysteries with a side of complicated identities, this might be for you. TW: domestic abuse.

I'll stick with the subtitles, though; I hate dubbed dialogue! It always sounds stiff and forced, and the words never come out the same way their mouths move. Drives me nuts; I won't even watch a movie if subtitles for the original aren't available. (I can't imagine making German to English work at all, considering German's sentence structure.)

it's really well done. Your choice, though.

I watched a Russian series ("The Ancestral Land&quot on Prime a couple of years ago. It was my first experience with bingeing, and boy, was it good! (Think "War and Peace" set 1920-1950s). It was dubbed and I even learned a couple of Russian words. I don't know if it's available any more though.

Found it a few days ago, and agree that it is worthwhile. I'm watching with subtitles (agree with Ocelot above) but will check out the dubbed version, as sometimes I'm multitasking.
