Original: Am I going deaf, or has anyone else had to watch every TV show with subtitles? Nobody knows how to mix their fucking aud
A complaint that modern TV shows and streaming releases have badly mixed dialogue is resonating widely: many viewers say they now watch nearly everything with subtitles on. The frustration is aimed at studios and streaming platforms such as Disney for murky dialogue buried under music and effects, and it feeds into a broader critique of declining quality in streaming-era production.
Why now: Poor dialogue mixing on streaming shows is a widespread, relatable annoyance that many viewers share.
