>>The father is difficult to understand, but the others speak fairly clearly (for Argentina I guess :o) . It's available on HBO on demand now (the entire season) with subtitles which helps. Although the subtitles are alittle misleading sometimes. They sometimes insert stuff that wasn't really stated, but was meant to be understood (given the context and emotions) I guess. I think it is available on DVD for the 1st season with English subtitles.

>From little I remember about this show it is not exactly what I like to watch (I am not knocking it). So lately I have been watching Spanish and Argentinian movies (I subscribe to a set of Spanish channels called Selecto). I like both Spanish and Argentinian movies (for content) and they also helps me to improve my understanding of fast speaking Spanish. I only wish that the movies on Selecto would have sub-titles but they don't.

>But maybe when I run out of all Spanish movies I will subscribe to HBO again and try Epitafios (tastes change <g>).

Or just rent the DVDs :o) I agree that Argentinians speak very fast sometimes and use more gutteral sounds so they can be difficult to understand. :o) One of my teachers at DLI was Argentinian but the most difficult to understand was actually from Chile and the 2nd most difficult to understand to me would be Ecuadorians or perhaps Cubans.
