Miranda: I personally don’t think its possible to come up with a crazier plan

Max: we attack them with hummus

Miranda: ...I stand corrected

Max: just keeping things in perspective

Miranda: thanks? I think?

*investigating crimes on Mallorca

[fmd-jade]

So I just started watching 'The Mallorca Files'.

It's about a British (played by a Welsh actress) and a German (played by an Austrian actor) police detective stationed on Mallorca and working for the local police force. And yes. I know it's a television show made for entertainment. And I know the whole setup is complete BS.

But what really tickles my marble? It's the whole language thing. Half the cast is German portraying Germans (as far as I’ve watched the show). Quarter of the cast is Spanish portraying Spanish people and the rest is English. And everyone speaks freaking English. Even when the same -non English speaking - compatriots are amongst themselves.

Oh, the German friends who are visiting the island for a stag night?! Speaking English.

The Spanish who live on Mallorca? Speaking English.

And all of them with audible accents so you as the viewer are clued in that they’re ‘the Germans’ or ‘the Natives’.

Look, I get that it is a BBC show primarily made for a UK audience. But the first episode established that the German police officer speaks Castellan and maybe a bit of Catalan, the native tongue of Mallorca (correct me here if I'm wrong). And it is established that the English police officer, upon being stationed on Mallorca, starts to learn Castellan. So let them speak Castellan! Even if it's just to order a coffee or something.

And when the German detective interrogates one of the many German persons of interest, why not let them speak in their native tongue? Might be more useful.

And for anyone who doesn't understand either language, use subtitles, for f*** sake!

And the reason I think they do this is because they expect their audience to

A: not be proficient in foreign languages and B: be too lazy to read subtitles.

Which is just downright insulting.

Have you seen ‘The Parliament’?! Wonderful show about the European Parliament with people from all over Europe and in my opinion they did a wonderful job with the language barriers. As in they provided subtitles when necessary which made the show that much more authentic.

Carmen and Miranda immediately hitting it off but Max and Miranda constantly bickering is so funny to me.
