Walter Presents - The Devil's Throat

[Love Labradors]

i'm a big fan of all things Walter Presents

from refusing to watch any sub titled programmes i'm now addicted especially to Scandi Noir

The Devil's Throat appeared on my sky new series listings

set In Bulgaria - watched the first two episodes of twelve last night and its superb

Teodora Duhovnikova is super sexy as Mia - enough said

as with all sub titles/translations there a couple of hilarious misinterpretations - watch out the the radio/orgasm ones!

Yes watched it, quite good, better than most of the foreign language stuff that's been on recently.

a couple of real 'howlers' in translation/subtitles last night

guy holding a shotgun - 'do you have a licence for that mortar'

i'm late because of stomach problems - 'i had to take a shower'

but still a bloody good series

I watched Ep1 and just couldn't get past the hilariously bad acting and decades old stereotypes. It was like watching something from the 1980's but filmed with a modern day production team and kit.

And then there's the ludicrous plot details - how did they not spot the sheep's eyes straight away FFS, rather than at the 3rd detailed time of looking?

[Love Labradors]

i think it truly depicts that Bulgaria is a long way behind modern western technology in medicine/forensics

also you will notice that the hospital scenes are not dressed up to look like an A&E say in UK/Germany - dirty pillows being one thing together with cracked wall tiles etc

the mortuary is from say 1960's UK - and a real depiction of Bulgaria after years of neglect after being part of the Soviet Bloc

the series producers in my opinion have not shied away from the shortcomings in their country especially the racial tensions on the influx of Muslim migrants
