I finally got around to watching Dark. The show is insane. Im not sure if its niche but I have never heard any of my friends talk about it before.

    Yeah I'd consider it pretty niche. Most people I gushed to about it didn't want to give it a chance because it was dubbed, weirdly enough. Their loss. This reminds me I need to do a rewatch...

    Seriously, what's wrong with watching it with original audio and subtitles?

    Because you can end up missing stuff.

    For me it acts like peripheral vision.

    If im reading subtitles what happens on screen isn't really being processed by my brain at 100% so details can get missed.

    Same to subtitles when focusing on visuals.

    Anime isn't as bad to watched subbed because it's usually shorter form and 'simpler' visually than live action - Just compare a visually dark scene from live action and animated as a quick and dirty example.

    Yeah, that's fair, I see your point. I'd say it depends on the movie. In many cases characters are memorable partly because of the way the actors speak - even if I don't speak the language myself (like with DARK).
