Hmm, Mexican "papa" dad comes home to speak with his son and they speak in English and a lot of stereotype "say it in spanish first to make it more authentic then say the exact same thing in English for the hurrdurrs".
Husband and wife lay in bed and speak English. Sounds legit. Laughing

Seriously, how hard is for Americans to read?

There were many scenes with only mexican spanish talking, so I don't think it has to do with Americans' aversion for reading in this case Very Happy

Its so common... typical American way "they won't notice"
Same with German in American movies...

Anyways, the show isn't half bad, it will be fun to see how similar the script really is.

Good start indeed, I like this. Many people bashed Diane Kruger's acting, but I think she did a nice job at playing a detective with Asperger's. The Spanglish was a lil' bit too much at times, but it's more authentic Cool Face that way, so it's ok. Razz

I remember some of the early (British obviously) reviews of the original criticizing Saga, so if she is taking the same flak then I would say she is doing a good job.


Saga was awesome

Good second episode, giving us a bit more insight into Diane Kruger's character's life. The bar scene as well as the after-sex bit was hilarious.

So far so good, but I'm having a bit of a hard time believing in kruger's character.
And buying someone like that as a detective?




Still worth watching, though.

So, how does it fare against the original? I'm somewhat pessimistic generally on American tv series remakes


1) Lenovo Legion 7 (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3080 16Gb, 32Gb DDR4, SSD 1TB +2TB

2) SFFPC (streaming via Moonlight+ Sunshine)

Actually, the acting of the main cast is very good. That scene in the latest episode with Cross (Kruger) and her boss on his truck talking about Cross's tragic past event was a great performance from Kruger, IMO. Several of the hispanic actors are doing a good job as well (though Bichir hasn't shown his best yet), and for once the spanish spoken by mexican characters is authentic (for the most part) contrary to most US tv shows today Laughing

 Spoiler:
 


Mostly those, but they came so fast and thick in episodes 3 and 4 that it was just unbelievable. Neutral

The rest of the show still suffers from the Confused Scratch Head Confused female detective but I can live with that.

Yeah, the only thing that has bothered me in the whole show is what happened when detective Ruiz paid a visit to the ranch owner's wife, and most of your cliches are related to that so I agree.

About your last statement though, I don't see your problem with Cross's condition? Scratch Head
