OK, this is a total cluster fuck of a movie.

But wait, I think to myself, Self, I think, the trailer they lured me in
with was in English.

I don?t know why they felt it necessary to write him out completely. He hardly ever appears anyway. Suddenly out of nowhere he?s offered a high ranking and high paid job in his home of Newfoundland. He wants to go there because it?s a good place to raise kids and his improbably tall wife blindsides him by telling him she will never have children, she doesn?t
want to. And she also doesn?t want to move to Newfoundland and it never occurs to anybody that they should try it for a couple of weeks and see
what she thinks of the place. So she hands him divorce papers and he leaves the series. :-(

The PRIME suggested it and showed me a trailer so I gave it a try. Problem is, it was in Swedish with no English audio options.
But wait, I think to myself, Self, I think, the trailer they lured me in
with was in English.
So I do some exploring.
The PRIME has both Swedish and English versions of it but they?re different movies. You can?t just switch audio.
It turns out this is the first film Finished using a technology I first saw years ago and wondered why it hadn?t gone into use yet where they use morphing technology to change the lips of the actors to match a different language. The way apps can make a singing greeting or something.
And that?s why there are two different versions of it because the video is actually different.
So far so good, but then the trolley goes horribly off the rails.
First, when I was watching the Swedish version, I noticed that it was quite conspicuous that you seldom saw somebody talk. It was almost always a reaction shot or the back of their head. Well, now we know why, it?s so
they didn?t have to do too much mouth replacement.
But it gets worse.
They had the barely English speaking Swedish cast do their own voices for
the English version and it?s so heavily accented that it sounds like the Muppets Swedish chef and you?re just laughing. It?s not any improvement on 1960s Godzilla movies.
But wait it gets worse still.
The mouth replacement doesn?t work at all. They may as well have just replaced the voices and not fiddled with the video.
So you end up with this movie where the mouths don?t match anything and the voices all sound like Muppets.
It?s good for a few minutes of laughs and then it just becomes too annoying to watch.
I am horrified that this mess made it to the release stage.

It sounds truly dreadful. By way of comparison, I saw something on
Netflix (I think) several months ago in a dubbed version and was very pleasantly surprised to find that the mouth movements and speech lined
up very well indeed. I nearly always choose subtitled versions over
dubbed versions so this was a rare exception for me. I expected the
mouths and speech to be as horribly misaligned as every other dubbed
show I'd ever seen but I was very much impressed how close the two were.
I don't know how they managed it but I'm now a lot more willing to watch dubbed versions of shows.
