All four principal actors of Patria are Basque-born. I'm really jealous of Spanish viewers for not having to ear-strain, with authentic localized Spanish - además - being treated to something so genuine and from the heart, even if I had to put the Volume onto almost Full to understand the often muffled dialogue (which annoyed the wife). So far the reserved intensity and candor of the first three episodes has been striking. If you can produce TV this good, why on earth do production teams spend so much of the rest of their time producing trash?
