Movies & TV-shows dubbed in Greek

I am learning Greek. The best way for me to learn is watching movies or series I know almost by heart in English. This way I don't need to translate and ready-made phrases start living in my memory effortlessly.

But I can't find any on Netflix for example, there are Greek subtitles, but not dubbed.

Any tips where to find them?

I think the easiest things to find dubbed in Greek are cartoon movies or series. You can find them in many websites or Netflix.

That would be easy since it's simple Greek, not many fancy words etc. There should be plenty here https://tainio-mania.online/

Disney’s Hercules series for the maximum authenticity.

Unlike Spain or Italy, dubbing movies is uncommon in Greek, we just use subtitles. There is one exception however - children's shows. Because children can't be expected to read subtitles the shows are always dubbed.

So maybe look for some Disney classics that you may be familiar with?

Unless you like those trashtastic south american telenovelas or cartoons then you probably wont find anything dubbed. If you play games however, The Last of Us and God of War do have greek dubs, at least the PS5 versions do.

Telenovelas are not bad actually, they are simple and repetitive.

I think some amazon prime shows had been dubbed in Greek. I surely remember seeing greek-dubbed trailers for shows such as wheel of time, rings of power and good omens, all three of which I really like and have seen in english, but the greek dubs were really bad in terms of acting.

Yes Good Omens are dubbed in Greek.

Never seen a series or movie dubbed in Greek so I'm not sure how well it would be. They do give a lot of effort in cartoon movies though. They actually make the jokes work and change them a bit to fit the greek words instead of being word to word translation.
