Tatum was the one primarily responsible for having this series dubbed into English.
In a brief commentary at the start of one of the later episodes, he was asked why he went to the expense of having it dubbed, rather than just subtitled. He responded: Nobody wants to read subtitles.
I concur and wish more TV/movie productions would do the same. If I wanted to ‘read’, I would get a book. Also, reading subtitles causes the viewer to miss anything going on in the actual movie. We know it is a movie or TV production, so use ENGLISH and drop the subtitling. Subtitling does NOT make it seem more authentic.
Okay, I will check out “Comrade Detective.”
You do know that “Comrade Detective” is a modern day satirical comedy. It took the premise of what a 1980’s buddy cop TV show, or something like Hill Street Blues would look like had been made in a communist country before the fall of the Iron Curtain. There was never such a series made in Romania at the time. The bad dubbing is part of the shtick.
