    Thank you for this. I am such redneck I need subtitles for british shows. I can’t fucking understand them a lot of times.

    This probably helps with users where English isn’t their first language.

      My wife and I will find shows but not really read anything about them, and we put them on and sometimes we’re like, shit, they’re from England or Scotland, and we have to use subtitles. We just know that, in the past, we’ve tried to chug along and just lost details.

      The complete opposite was true of the show dark, obviously in German (if my poor memory serves), but we couldn’t keep track of the story and for probably the only time ever had to switch to dubs, which I am loathe to do, but we were completely lost in the sauce.
