Uniform just adds that special somethin'...
ReplyDeleteThe caps look very good with a beard and a moustache. I wonder what they did when they got lonely in submarines....
DeleteMy thoughts exactly! Isolation does its thing and it's gotta be magical, baby.
DeleteWish they'd live stream it for us LOL
DeleteUgh, imagine sailing the seas for weeks at a time and almost losing your life to drowning? That has to be one of the worst ways to go. I never understood the fascination or attraction that some people have with water.
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer to stay as far away from it as possible.
DeleteI haven't even watched Season 1 yet! I better get my skates on.
ReplyDeleteIt had just eight episodes, so it is not a massive binge material.
DeleteI forgot about this one. Now that I have Hulu, I'll have to add it to Jason's queue.
ReplyDeleteThe series is in English, don't let the trailer fool you, we just don't have English trailer available yet.
DeleteBeen watching lots of foreign series lately with English subtitles so this is right up my alley. There is something about watching World War II themes spoken in German language, it feels eerily like transporting back in time to being actually there.
ReplyDeleteI think the international version is done in English, this is just German trailer as the second season airs there first and we still don't have an English language one. Most of those big epic shows these days are done in English for better sales. Sometimes they will even shoot the same scenes in both languages, but usually they just dubbed them for the local audiences (like Versailles in France or Medici in Italy). Some countries, though, are very particular about their language and will not use English even when they plan to sell shows abroad, Spain, Germany and Russia are among those.
