I wonder if that explains Amazon Prime's dubbed shows? I thought it was unusual (along with Netflix's 3%); in the UK I'm used to foreign programmes only being subtitled.

The self-portrayal of the EC as a wholesome and pure knight with a blue-and-yellow shield was particularly cringe-inducing, preceded by its dog-whistle anti-American policy message…
