Anyone else a fan of "inspector Rex "an Austrian television show about a German Shepherd

That works with a policeman. it’s subtitled.
(i’m learning German on Duolingo and once in a while I’ll catch a word or two.)

I’m watching it on hoopla Through my library. I like German Shepherd dogs a lot, but it’s not really feasible for me to own one for various reasons. I would like to have one for a guard dog if I were younger, lived in a bigger place, was more experience with dogs, etc..

Love how Rex is always stealing the other guy's sausage!

Also noted there appears to be a US version, in some sort of Hallmark family format, streaming on Prime. How you would make the Austrian Rex more "family friendly" I can't imagine.

I had to subscribe to UP through Prime to get it. I will have to look to see if there is a free way to get it on Prime. I did see it's on Ion Plus on Google TV, but I think it may only be on 1 day a week in a marathon style airing.

I haven't looked at it. Almost all of the US remakes of European shows are not very good, we have felt.

but it's fun to watch how well trained that dog is.

I do like the U.S. Version of Ghosts. The cast and characters are great!

the Austrian version, but I do watch a Canadian version inspired by that show. It's called Hudson and Rex. It has the same premise of a human police detective with a German Shepherd partner.

While there is crime in it, including murder, it isn't gruesome and it has humor too. I mainly watch because I have loved the German Shepherds since I was 5, and have rarely been without since. The guy isn't bad to look at either.

Ok, didn't know that. Actually Canadian programs are better than American ones as well, as are many from Australia and New Zealand.

The first year or two of it, it wasn't available in U.S. but now UP airs the seasons, shortly after the Canadian airings.

The perps end up in the Austrian federal ken.

Don't tell anyone, but he was my best friend.

Sounds like a cool show, will look into it.

more comforting to watch than a well trained dog who loves his work. BTW: H&R is on for 12 hours straight today and on Saturdays it's on for 7 straight hours.
