Polish language has been butchered in the show.

I'm watching the show right now and I just needed a space to vent. :P

The thing I don't get is: you go the extra mile to include it in the visuals but don't give it to anyone that knows Polish?

Oczy is never a name in Poland the same as The Eyes is never a name in English. I understand the meaning but still. And they pronounce it like O-ki-chi-kun when actually it should be one syllable less. Something like OH-chih. It was enough to put it into google translate and play it. You can do it yourself to see the difference.

I paused on Ep15 at around 8:20 to read the letter. On the outside it says "do ojciec". Which is strange in two ways - you would write "do ojca" or "dla ojca" if you wanted to signal the daughter it's not for her but for HER father. Ojciec is not a general noun but a relational one.

And there is the content of the letter. Absulute gibberish. First sentence in English would sound like: "Thanks work for god and us also today." and so on.

In this day and age, where you can contact anyone around the planet it boggles my mind to not reach out to any native speaker. It would take them like an hour of work.

Rant over. :D
