Ok, so this isn't about a particular program I've seen, but it is about the audio quality in films.
If you're wondering why you struggle so much to hear the dialogue in movies and often turn on the subtitles, it's not because you've got terrible hearing (you may do) but because of the poor way that the sound is recorded to be "immersive", which makes it much less clear and having it played through the poor speakers of the average TV drags it down a lot more. Also, the dynamic range is often too wide, meaning that you're constantly turning it up for talky moments and down again when you're blasted during action scenes. I'm currently watching Executive Decision on Netflix which is especially bad for this. Good film otherwise, with lots of famous faces.
