Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

mariusccostea Really great show, if they wouldn't have thought of that kitsch voice mess. That's just another american do over thing that just wasn't necessary.

miko-03760 The whole show was clever, fun, witty and unique...until the last episode! Which fell totally flat and seemed completely out of character with the whole series that had been well executed and consistently funny. (I seriously wouldn't even bother watching it. Enjoy the first five episodes and skip the last!) It was so horribly written in terms of plot and then executed in a way that was so pathetically hokie it wasn't befitting of the amount of time and effort that went into the rest of this production. (Spoiler alert:) In the big reveal can anyone even tell me what the heck was going on? Was the entire purpose to create a soundstage and prance around like Miami Vice? It. Was. Dumb. I doubt we'll see another season of Comrade Detective.

neutrino-51524 Fun to watch, thanks to the outrageous characterizations of the people and life in here, hyperbolically addressing the oddities of the communist system. It delivers a biting satire on the role of the players of the Eastern Block society - the servile state police, the black market as a door to the inaccessible world of the West, the total social and moral corruption of a nation numbed by the vicissitudes of the history. Corneliu Ulic, Florin Piersic JR, Olivia Nita, and their US dubbing counterparts, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Channing Tatum, Jenny Slate as well as a plethora of other Romanian and US actors are getting the viewer into binge mood for the series. The dubbing idea is interesting, gives a special flavor of the concept, but you must adjust and go past the first episode. The US crew did a great job, making the film very unique! An original Romanian track with subtitles would be interesting to watch as well, but might lose some of the charm.

j_mmccabe I think it's a terrible shame that what looks to be an exciting and engaging series has been dubbed vs. showing this in it's original language with subtitles. I wish it was at least available to watch in Romanian with subtitles but instead one is supposed to suffer through the dubbing - it's almost painful to listen to.Hopefully they will see sense and release the original as it was intended vs. this monstrosity. The official Amazon description is so terrible: "digitally remastered and dubbed the original into English for the modern world." For the modern world? Seriously? Like Romanian is somehow not 'modern' and needs fixing? Insulting and pathetic, especially as the very people who are drawn to a show like this are the people who thrive on foreign drama/cinema; part of the purpose of watching this stuff is escapism and the foreign language is part of that escapism. 'Fixing" it to English is in such poor taste and fundamentally destroys the show's authenticity. I hope this errant and wayward decision to dub isn't a sign of things to come from Amazon.
