What?! The Good Wife got disconitinued in Germany?! >.< Why??!
Yeah it's still very popular here although it's being broadcasted on a commercial network which always has lower ratings than the public networks.

Hmmm yeah his German voice isn't so bad really it's just that it somehow misses the depth and complexity of MCH's voice, which is logical, I mean after all how can you mimic the actual actor.. Hard act to follow.

There is no Dutch version, we don't do synchronizations (thank god.. No offense but I much prefer it with subtitles - once you're used to it you never want it any other way! Trust me! )

Makes me curious about what Dex sounds like in different languages..

*Makes mental note to do some googling/ you tubing to hear some samples*

Yes, it's got discontinued because of bad ratings here!
Like I said, Germany has no taste in Tv subjects !
So, now I do German subtitles to download for the public here.
So they can continue watching

Yeah, I wish I could get used to it. But I'm on my way.
I watch Dexter since season 4 with German subtitle.
It's good for my brain
And so The Good Wife

Ah awesome! It's a lot of work though I know it all too well, as I do the same but vice versa for the Mole fans all over the world..
You see they discontued this (imho) awesome series in so many countries and Mole fans all over the world lament that fact. However the series is still going here in the Netherlands so some friends and I do projects to translate the series from Dutch into English. It's always a bit different looking for the right expressions in a language that's not your mother tongue but it's fun to do and we get so many positive responses. It's really worth all the effort and yeah it's a lot of effort.

So do you do that all by yourself??
May I ask which program/ software you're using? Do you use existing (ripped) .srt files to translate it?? (I find putting in the timing is a huge chunk of the work so if you can omit that somehow it saves a lot of time).

Anyway great job!! Keep up the good work I'm sure a lot of fans of the show are thankful to you for it!!

At the risk of digressing and being (even more) offtopic.. one more thing I want to say about this though.
You really get used to them very quickly. Maybe they are distracting at first but once you get used to them it's so easy and you sort of half read and half listen to what's being said, it's an automatic process really.

I find it most distracting when I speak the language well enough but am not familiar with certain expressions, idioms etc, as well as accents or the fluency with which it is spoken. I have that issue sometimes when watching a French or Spanish movie. My brain is half and half working on translating it myself and the other half with reading and taking in what is being said.. But it's all a matter of exposure I think. If I watched more Spanish and French tv and subtitled movies the process gradually becomes more automated.

Anyway.. Great job!!

Aww, I rent the disc set, too I didn't regret it Now I bought the SFU DvDBox. SFU is the most beautiful series ever!!! That's why I started to watch Dexter
If you would live here in Germany, I would rent you my Box, so you woulden't have to pay
