Narcos is audio described! (self.Blind)
submitted by awesomesaucesaywhat
The second season of Narcos is finally on Netflix, and it's audio described! They have a second voice doing the Spanish-English translation that is normally captioned. I am so excited to binge watch this!

Does anyone have a favorite AD show or movie on Netflix?

I really like Bob's Burgers. Not only do I like the show, but I also really appreciate the style of audio description. It is very minimal and captures just enough to understand what is going on in the scenes.

We also binge watched the entire season of Stranger Things in like a week. Really good show.

I was however disappointed to find out that some shows only seem to have description on a few seasons. There's also plenty of content in their library that was described for TV but is not described on Netflix. I'm looking forward to their AD offering continuing to expand in the future though.

The inconsistency drives me nuts too. I watched burn notice because it said it was AD but I think it was only seasons four and five. It was strange

Stranger things was pretty well done, absolutely love house of cards and orange is the new black. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is pretty fun, although I find the audio description voice to be really annoying. We recently caught all the way up with Bojack horseman, a tremendous series with pretty decent audio description. And of course there's daredevil and Jessica Jones.

Netflix is getting better at audio description, and I think is more audio describers are getting work from them they are figuring out better and better ways to describe things with more efficiency and detail. Definitely check out making of a murderer to experience audio description and documentary format, something tremendously difficult for all of the information being presented in the show.

As for Narcos season two, I'm really really happy that they finally made the decision to have a female narrator speak over the female subtitle parts. They did not do this in season one, as they only had the audio describer and a male translator voice that spoke over all subtitles, no matter if it was female or male. This made conversations between women and men extremely difficult to understand.
