Now, THAT is impressive 😁

I do occasionally watch Borgen or other Scandi Noir/Nordic dramas without the subs, because I find the sound world and linguistic formation, fascinating.

I did wonder, at first, whether Sidse Babette Knudsen had something to do with it, but thankfully, it is broader than that.

Mostly.

I loved Borgen (SBK was indeed brilliant) and most of the Scandi Noir series I've seen, and for me too the language is always a significant part of the charm and aura of the experience.

Saw a production of King Lear last night.

Oswald was played as an android who talked and acted exactly like Kryten from Red Dwarf.

And that didn't even make my top 10 wtf?? of choices that were made.

Oof! I have a Lear coming in, will report. Separately, I'm re-watching the victrola-&-bicycle Midsummer Night's Dream tonight.
