Similar in Germany. Its gotten better, but most streaming services only offered the German dubbed version or hardcoded subtitles.
Is it any wonder that streaming sites are all the rage?
- lorenzhs 10y agoI've never had a problem with Netflix in Germany. All the productions I've watched so far have had the original language (usually English) available, no burned-in subs. Exception would be transcriptions of on-screen text (like the text messages in Sherlock), but that's because they don't provide separate video tracks for English and German. I'm okay with that. Of course Netflix doesn't have the new HBO shows - but that's a different issue.
- jagermo 10y agoYes, I mean "Before Netflix".
- lorenzhs 10y agoSee, the situation has improved. We're getting there, slowly. With an emphasis on slowly ;)
- m_fayer 10y agoNetflix has by far the best technical characteristics of all subscription services available in Germany (I've tried them all.) Unfortunately its library is laughable.
- lorenzhs 10y agoOh please, can we stop it already? Yes, it's not as big as the US library. Yes, many TV shows only have the first couple of seasons available with several missing. But there's a lot of content rotation, with plenty of new stuff to watch. I haven't run out yet. You can get an overview what they added recently at http://germany.netflixable.com/ http://germany.netflixable.com/ If you're going there to watch something specific, you might have a bad time. If you're going there to discover stuff to watch and have a good time, it's pretty good.
