Stranger Things?

With it being a German show, is it in Enlish? Captioned in English?
You can watch it in German with English captions (that's what I do), or you can watch it dubbed into English.

Well, I don't mind English captions with German being spoken, but how do I get captions to work with PlayOn? Is there a Netflix setting to turn English captions on so that they will be recorded by PlayOn? I'm not really a fan of dubbing, and would much rather watch it with the English CC translation.
You need to watch a minimum of 6 minutes on the device where you record the show with PlayOn. Watch the show the way you want it (captions, etc.), and PlayOn will remember your preference. Then tape the show as usual -- I'd start with just one episode to make sure it's working.
The trick is supposed to work for Hulu as well, but it doesn't -- I reported this months ago and they told me they were able to duplicate the error and would try to fix it. Yeah, they haven't. But it works just fine with Netflix.
Well, I used my cell phone to set up the recordings, but I download using my computer. I watch them on my TV.
I guess I would use my computer to watch the first six minutes of the first episode directly from the Netflix website, and Netflix would remember that I want captions, and it would then stream the show with them for PlayOn to record?
