Overall Rating: B+ Subtitles: I think the Viki subs for this were fine. They did not stick out to me as especially good or especially bad, so let's call them generally solid. Unfortunately at this point unless subs are especially bothersome or have some over and above feature I barely notice them so they all … Continue reading A Piece of Your Mind

Warm and Cozy
Overall Rating: B+ (really this should be a B but I feel I cannot rate it lower than Memories of the Alhambra so we are artificially inflating it)Subtitles: I liked these subs but they tended to translate more literally than I'm used to, rather than translating meaning. The result was that we had to do some interpreting … Continue reading Warm and Cozy
