How does the localization process affect the storytelling in foreign TV series?

02 Kas 06:45

I’ve been watching a lot of foreign series lately and noticed that many shows undergo heavy localization before they reach us. What are the main steps involved in adapting a series for a new audience—translation, cultural adaptation, editing, dubbing, subtitles? How do these changes impact the original narrative and character dynamics? Are there any best practices that creators follow to preserve the show’s intent while making it accessible globally? Curious to hear your thoughts and experiences.
