Hi – great article.
I like to point out that it is not as it seems.
I live in New Jersey and on HBO Latino channel, the version is the original Portuguese spoken with Spanish subtitles. (whenever it airs)
At the same time, on HBO on-demand, the version available is the one described in the article, Spanish voice-overs with English subtitles.
In other words, the Spanish dubbed version already existed when the series aired in HBO Argentina, HBO Mexico, all other HBO Latin markets.
The logistics here is that for the American market subtitle from Spanish is every day business, it would be more expansive to subtitle from Portuguese.
So not an issue of respect and disregard, I don’t think.

My daughter and I love “Alice”. However, we are appalled by the Spanish dubbing. We so want to see the show in its original incarnation, listening to these wonderful actors tell their stories in their native Portuguese.

While I am appalled at the bad decision to dub Alice, leaving many unedicated Americans to think that Brazilians speak Spanish, I adore this show. Can’t wait for the next season.
