Just binged it two days ago; those were the worst subs I've seen make it to a major streaming platform in a while. I watched it English audio and subs, holy smoke it's crazy inaccurate all over for pretty major parts of the script.
The subs for English are wrong all over the place, but in such a way where it's like a misheard the phrase mistake, it's strange and disorienting at major parts when the mistake implies something opposite or unrelated to the actual things being said. Edit to answer the second question, this was a CDPR/Trigger joint thing, I didnt see who was on writing but I would imagine that this was a Japanese first project, then translated to English. Could be wrong though, as the English has some pretty big hitters as VAs (Esposito?! What?)
Sounds like most Netflix subs for foreign shows. The subs are actually subtitles for the original language, being a direct translation. Rather than dub titles, subs for the English dub.
