I couldn't watch it. I do not understand why "background music", which is supposed to enhance the scene, has to be so loud and intrusive to the dialog. I find the same problem with movies and television documentaries. I end up missing some of the dialog or irritated at the non sublety of the audio "special effects".

I fully agree!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it's because of two things. #1 The vocals are not that polished and the producers try to cover up with "special effects audio"! #2 As we age the frequencies that most voice information occurs are the ones we are loosing so we have to blame our hearing loss on something. I have to admit to #2. And my aids don't do that much to help!

I wish this idea had been around when I was younger.
"NDD" it's has been this for years, and it's getting worse.
I was ask in a photography chat room quite a few years ago How I found some of the things I took photos of, Little flowers, mushrooms, bugs, interesting root wads, ect.
My answer was, Walk slowly with eyes open and mouth shut, stop often and look around.
Then do what ever it takes "within reason" to get the image, i.e. get down on your belly, gently move plant parts "leaves, blades of grass ect." out of the way, use diffusion to soften the light, be it natural or flash. And take many frames of the subject at different angles and settings.
Then someone said that was too much work LOL. I won't say what I said

but they were PO'ed

I fully agree with you about that 'background music' on TV.
I have to have the volume up quite loud in order to pick up
what the actors are saying - - and it drives me nuts that so
much of the dialog is done in whispers to enhance(?) the
scene or story. I often wonder just why this complaint has
not got to those producing such shows . . .

I've given up on trying to understand them sometime ago. So I just read the captions. But the trouble with captions are they gradually move forward or backward so that they are in the wrong scene.

I did not experience it that way, I found the audio very fitting and just enjoyed the whole thing, thumbs up from me, thanks for sharing!
