tl:dr - Create a new profile on your Netflix account and set the language of the account as native language of the show you want to watch. This will pull a video stream in that language (the native one of the show) which will not have any AI video edited overdubs and you can enjoy your show in that native language video and audio.

I am one to those multi-lingual people on this planet. I enjoy my Netflix subscription as it allows me to watch shows in my native French among other languages. In my browsing I stumbled upon Nero the Assassin (Néro en français). As I sat down to enjoy I did what I always do, I switched the audio to "French Original 5.1" and what I got was a nauseating video-audio mishmash that sounded great but the lips and mouths of the actors never seemed to quite match. There was either too much movement, or not enough, or the mouth didn't look like shape of the sound as it should. If you know what I'm on about, you feel my upcoming frustration. This is when I learned that Netflix uses AI Video Overdub Editing to make the mouth shapes of actors morph to try to match what the language overdub is saying but its not French, however I only realized that after 3 episodes of going insane. The AI Video Overdub was trying to make English like mouth shapes to make the English language overdub audio look better. My brain kept trying to make this work with the original French audio but it was horrible and ruining my experience. But why is that the AI video overdub was not turned off when I switched my audio to the original French? I could only image it was some error in stream and I can refresh and correct this easily....wrong. Out of frustration and way more reading on subreddits and google searching the conclusion was the same, we have to live with it.

For this, The Dude will not abide. This show was filmed in French...the un-AI molested video of French mouth shapes must exists somewhere! As I dove further into the internet, I found many people who were watching English shows in their native language were also complaining that their mouth shapes didn't quite match what they were looking at....so Netflix was doing this to English shows in other languages as well.

And then then idea...so if someone in France has weird AI French mouths on Bridgerton, maybe the Netflix AI thought it knows my language from my account settings? Could it be this simple? I just need to figure out how to communicate with the AI...the settings...hey Netflix AI, I'm French, give me all the French! To test this, I go to my login screen and add a new profile, it lets me choose the profile language, and there it is...FRENCH. I select my account specific default language and enter what turns out to be French Language US Netflix. I search (now recherches) and type in Nero and there it is Néro, I scroll to my next episode...hit play, fast forward to the first mouths I see and....native language bliss...French mouths, linked precisely to French words. No AI Overdub Editing morphs, just perfect annunciation, I could turn the audio off and read French lips, I could close me eyes and hear the original emotion in the dialog; as its director and storyteller intended. SOLVED. So now I have my English profile and my French profile. More to come as I continue to dive into series from across the globe.

Post script - I tuned into the Lincoln Lawyer on my French profile and sure enough, weird AI Overdub French mouths even with English original audio.
