[NO SPOILERS] English Dub? I really want to appreciate the visuals, scenery, cinematography and not get distracted by reading subtitles every second (and potentially pausing it to re-read)... should I still do original German Audio?
1st time watching (coming from Lost), from the little research I've done (trying to avoid spoilers), German Audio is obviously the best way to watch it, hearing the original voices, matching the actors, how it's meant to be, etc. No doubt about that.
But I have a 190" projector screen with in a pitch black room with a 4k HDR projector, so I absolutely love visuals/cinematography in movies/shows, so I don't want to get distracted with reading subtitles every single scene and not look at the visuals, scenery, actors body language, background stuff, easter eggs, etc.
So is it better to get distracted by subtitles and not being able to appreciate the visuals.
Or is it better to get distracted by weird English dub but be able to appreciate the visuals.
When I watch stuff, I put my phone away, put the remote away, I turn off notifications on my watch and just take it all in... but would hate to be taken out of the moment because I had to rewind a scene because I couldn't read the subtitles in time (and I'm watching with my partner, which increases the chance of one of us not catching the subtitle in time). I just want to lean back and watch, not read. So which is worse... losing the original audio, or losing the cinematography?
Also side note, I am 100% spoiler free, I literally don't know anything about the show at all, note even the genre or main plot which is what I prefer, I simply know it's one of the top recommendations for those that have watched Lost (that and Fringe are my favorite shows). So please don't spoil anything at all, even things that are not spoilers like "you're going to love the main actor!", I truly want to know absolutely nothing going in :)
Edit: Dang so many helpful replies, I will respond to everyone later :) I may start the show tonight too I’m just too excited now!
