ZeroZeroZero [Crime, Drama]

It's a really good show so far, quality cast, relatively high budget, many different locations. Reminds me of https://next-episode.net/narcos / https://next-episode.net/narcos-mexico and (a bit) of https://next-episode.net/tom-clancys-jack-ryan - ZeroZeroZero is a bit more contemplative in comparison.

8.2/10 (IMDb) with almost 8000 votes.

Unless you understand Italian, the show is a chore to follow as you must always be watching the screen to see the subtitles. I've watched all the Narcos shows and they do it much better in terms of scripts and direction. Zero has an Italian style that takes some getting used to. So did Dark (German) which easier for me to follow.

I often do other things while watching, something that was common from the beginning of the TV era (I was there). These days it not a book or magazine but checking email and other web traffic or live-chat with other viewer. Having to read subs is a chore too far. Dubbing has been all the rage in the rest of the world for a long time, even if badly done. Quality of dubs does vary quite a bit. Then again it is interesting to watch a dubbed foreign language show when you know some of the non-English dialog. I can usually comprehend most German or Russian dialog and it's interesting to see some of the interpretations the dubbing translators made. In the end, it's a major fail if I have to be watching the screen all the time and I am not the eccentric in that respect.

To each his own.
