That is supposed to be good, but I’ve always been a bit cautious of non-english comedies on the basis that jokes to some extent are rooted in wordplay and require understanding the native language tropes (ie: a lot would be lost in subtitles).
You’d be surprised how universal a lot of comedy can be. I watch a lot of international shows and people by and large laugh at similar situations. In cases of language specific wordplay, usually the translator tries to find an English equivalent.

Not an issue for me with this show. Though I’m not a subtitle user. I watch this show in a English dubbing, not subtitles.
It’s less about the subtitles (or dubbing) but more that the jokes won’t work when translated. Does that make sense?
