As someone who’s going blind and can’t read subtitles, the audio descriptions are *great*. That said, it’s still tough to tell characters apart. Which pretty Latina is that? She looks a lot like the one from a few episodes ago.

But they’re different. How did you miss that?!

Are you BLIND?

Well, almost….

At risk of being labeled sexist, I notoriously cannot tell men apart, irl or onscreen. Perhaps a numbering system for the attractive, yet interchangeable, characters is in order.

Things are further complicated by the translation overdubs. There’s not a lot to differentiate among the voices.

But in these shows, the auxiliary character list is so long, too.

Narcos is the one I’ve had lots of issues with.

My wife seems to be enjoying “Your Friends And Neighbors.” I have trouble distinguishing the actresses there, too.

Did you see what Olivia Munn did in that scene?

Uhhhh

The girl at the video game store?

(And my the speed at which my FPS performance declined was an early symptom of my condition. How did I miss that guy?!? He’s right there in the middle of the screen.

Yes, I have some optic issues. This why the optometrist prescribed lenses w/ reading glasses built-in; I’m almost 50. But the stuff getting to the back of my eyeballs doesn’t get to my brain due to the nerve damage….)

I am hoping Ian Mark Sirota saw the final item!
