I guess I should have phrased it a bit differently lol But I just love how extra-ordinary things happen in Les Revenants without them being OTT like they would be in an American show. In most US shows it's all about the pathos and the (over)dramatic, if you know what I mean? Here, incredible events occur but, at the core of it, it all looks very grounded in reality and it's just much more intense that way. The last episode I saw had me sitting on at the edge of my seat and yet it almost looked understated.
About the subtitled version as opposed to the dubbed one, I envy those countries which have, by default, the original version of a show. We didn't even have a choice for the longest time in France. It's only in recent years that our networks decided to offer us both versions of the shows they broadcast (dubbed or subtitled) but even now they don't do it for all shows, sadly. So whenever a new show airs or whenever they show a film, I cross my fingers and click to see whether we have the choice or if it'll be in French only.
