On network TV? Never.

True, I remember Squid Game was huge in the US. Did people watch it with subtitles?

I don’t know about most people, but the default was dubbed so I guess they probably watched it dubbed. I never been able to stand dubs, but that’s just me.

I'm fine with some dubs, like if they're real well done, or dubs of some shows I grew up with for the nostalgia. Otherwise yeah subs or bust.

I think in animated shows it's fine. Classic Disney movies often have fantastic translations, and it makes it fun to meet people around Europe because we all know the same songs but in different languages.
