Help !!! I am watching Immigration Nation the English version. When they speak Spanish

there is no closed caption.

All credits and immigrants names are in English, but there is no writing when they speak in Spanish.

I have the closed caption turned on.

I tried turning it on and off.

There is no difference.

Anyone know if I am doing something wrong or the series is not using closed caption for

the English version ???

I would love to hear their stories.

All help would be appreciated.

You might be in a 'zoom' mode on your TV or cable box causing captions to be cut off mr_lebowski Aug 2020 #2

It may not be your tv that needs adjusting, but the Netflix app Fiendish Thingy Aug 2020 #5

They did usually have the dialogue in English when people were speaking Spanish when I watched. Sometimes it was at the very top of the screen and sometimes at the very bottom. Is your screen large enough, like are you watching on a dev ice other than a TV?
I just finished watching it and still trying to recover. I am just stunned and sickened.

It is in theater mode: a black strip at the top and at the bottom.

I will see if I can change it.

I have never had this issue before.

Thanks so much.

I am on episode 5.

ICE=Nazis and they thoroughly enjoy their jobs !!!!

If they all dropped dead the world would be a better place.

I am watching on a 40 inch TV screen.

I have 4 options:

Normal=black strip on top and bottom

Zoom=full screen

Wide=black strip on top and bottom

Cinema=full screen

There are no captions with any choice.

Thanks for all your help.

if they're at the top or bottom.

Other than that, not sure. Good luck in any case

Edit I just put it on (using netflix app on windows 10) and there's captions, no need to turn anything on. They're at the bottom. If the image seems like it might be getting cut off, look for button w/zoom or a rectangle (like a tv) and try pushing it a few times, see if captions pop on. There's some captions around the 20:00 mark in episode 1 for example.

I have never had to adjust anything before.

I will try.

I have these options:

Cinema=full screen

Wide=black strip top and bottom

Normal=black strip top and bottom

Zoom=full screen

I tried all of them and no captions.

I am on episode 5.

ICE=Nazis

If they all dropped dead the world would be a better place.

I am so sick of people saying it is my job.

What kind of people take such horrible evil jobs ???

What kind of people arrest innocent people to keep beds full for corporations ???

Nazis

On my Apple TV, there’s a pull down menu at the top of the screen that allows me to adjust language and subtitles- you should have a settings option for the app regardless of device.

I don't have a Netflix app.

I am watching on a Fire TV Stick.

Out of the thousands of hours I have watched TV, this is the first time this issue has come up.

Episode 6 just ended.

What a cruel fucking world we live in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laughing about hunting people.

Laughing about chasing them into the desert so they will die of thrist.

I will never understand such cruelty, never.
