My Cord-Cutting Adventure

Didn't mind episode 1 of A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW!

And then I also realised I was impressed the MUSIC was *not* REALLY LOUD and ENDLESSLY PRESENT in EVERY SCENE!!

Netflix is funny on fast speed. Because of the wank way all their Originals are shot, you get these pauses (which are the "meaningful moments with tasteful camera work") then suddenly the dialogue is like racing-call speed and all the characters are doing clown running!

We call them volume rollercoasters in our house. Volume up when the characters are mumbling their dialogue, volume down when the background noise/soundtrack is rattling the windows.

Mumbling actors, bad speakers or lazy listeners? Why everyone is watching TV with subtitles on

Subtitles aren’t just for the hard of hearing, with Netflix reporting 40% of its viewers regularly use them. But do we just enjoy them or is there a more annoying reason?
