Who is this John Ronson dickbag they have with Channing Tatum?

Also I'm kind of upset Amazon does so much to push that Tatum and JGL are in the show, when they only do the VA work, the two actually Romanian actor's are way better then those two.

Only on the 4th episode.

Patriot was a much better wacky amazon show and nobody watched it

as a Romanian I was actually surprised at how accurate they were with a lot of stuff. I was alive through some of that period and except for the rampant poverty, it was spot on with the aesthetics. Pretty good show, I'll watch it again in romanian.

I am glad they changed the name from Iron Fisting. Based on that initial name, the gimmick of the show and the trailer I was expecting it to be a wacky buddy cop comedy.
But despite being funny at times, it was surprisingly more reserved and felt earnest, instead of a one big joke.
It's a real shame that Amazon does a piss poor job of marketing their shows (just look at Patriot as a recent example). They do renew a lot of stuff for at least one more season, which I hope will happen here as well. Or if it'll get cancelled in the States, hopefully it will get popular enough in Romania, where it was produced and is currently shown in its original state without the Hollywood dubbing, so that they'll make a second season on their own, and some good samaritans will make English subs for that.

Patriot is a better but comrade detective is great. the dark slow humor in patriot kinda hurts it a bit

i expected it to be complete propaganda shaming but it really wasn't. i fucking love the style too.

>FIST!
was it really gonna be called iron fisting?
and i completely agree amazon needs to have the marketing of netflix, and netflix needs to stop making shows all together.
im just glad patriot got renewed

Well, turns out that people in the comments were needlessly worried. But I guess that was due to the jokey title.

>>85977790
i wouldn't mind rewatching this season in romanian with subs.
always hated dubs

>>85978000
the title "Comrade Detective" in romanian sounds super communist and just invokes bad feelings.
In Romania it won't probably be called. "Tovarasul Militian". Iron Fist sounds much better to be fair.

>>85978325
yeah, but Iron Fist and Iron Fisting are not the same thing.
Or if you mean that tweaking the title from Fisting to Fist specifically for the Romanian version of the show would be better, then sure. I don't think that Marvel can sue them for using Iron Fist in another language.

>>85978545
lol, yeah. Fisting didn't even register. I read it as Iron Fist.

The Party made sure that decadent western terms as fisting stays out of our minds.

what's completely untrue about romania in the show?
beside the obvious no corruption no poverty thing.

>>85979203
actually the most despicable thing are true, like family members and colleagues informing on each other. But it was more out of fear that if someone didn't inform first, as an acquaintance you would also disappear.

>what's completely untrue about romania in the show?
Loyalty to the party didn't exist, everyone was out for themselves and tried to make the best out of a really really bad situation.

There may be more, but I tried to watch it just a a show and it didn't "trigger" me in any major way.

>>85976954
I thought that Mahershalalaldong Ali voiced character would turn out to be the mastermind behind the whole thing, but they went the obvious route. At least the theatrics made up for it.

I don't watch comedies

>>85981487
it's not a comedy.
