I am bilingual and speak perfect English, but I'm 100% going to watch the rest of this series in the Italian dub.
Hey! I recently started watching TWD after it was suggested to me incessantly by a close group of friends, and because I'm lucky enough to speak and understand English fluently even though I'm Italian I was super happy that I could get to watch this iconic series in it's original language.
I can't, I can't do this. The reason is very simple.
Andrew Lincoln
I am astonished that such a shit actor could ever land the MAIN LEAD role in a TV show this huge (well maybe it wasn't huge when they started but still). WHAT THE FUCK, the acting, the way he delivers his lines, the intonation, THE FACES, all those damn faces and useless hyperemphasized expressions he constantly does.
I switched to Italian voice over after 3 episodes and thanks God an actual professional actor is saving my experience, he can't do anything about all the dumb expression Lincoln makes but at least the delivery is good, sometimes Really good even, and when I hear a really good rick grimes line now I always switch to English just to see how much worse it is and...yeah it's consistently worse.
The series is good tho! I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm sure the other actors are really good but now I don't really feel like switching back to english.
