Best Episode:Invincible (Amazon)- For the season finale, it really looked like our hero had met his match, or at least that Eve had. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is an excellent casting choice for Conquest, and his battle with Mark and Eve. A pretty strong and focused finale for a show that often is juggling a lot of storylines. And, Walton Goggins is also voice acting here, which put him in three simultaneous programs (with the other two being The White Lotus and The righteous Gemstones).
Runner Up: Deli Boys- continuing to build on its story every week, this comedy about unlikely crime bosses has a lot of charm and laughs. My fear is that it will get the same muted reception from Hulu that most of its sitcoms get and only run for two seasons. See: This Fool, Woke, Shrill, Life And Beth, Dollface, etc.
Best Audio Description: Invincible- With all those fight sequences, invincible easily rose to the top of this category as well. A very well described episode. I really loved the dramatic build up between mark and Conquest that built after Conquest goes too far, and mark gives everything he’s got. The audio description grabbed that nicely.
Runner Up: Good American Family- Aside from me wondering where the hell the knob was in the shower (what monsters put the knob up high?), what I liked about this episode was how it showed Natalia navigating her space, using chairs, climbing on counters, and having a hard time opening cans. I think the show has an identity crisis, but the audio description was good.
Best performance: Jeffrey Dean morgan (Invincible)- While I love him as a person, and he’s been around long enough for me to remember when he used to break hearts by dying in things (grey’s Anatomy, weeds), Negan really reinvented his image into one of persistent badass and brutal killer out of necessity. So, having him voice the Season 3 big bad, really felt like the right choice, as everything falls into place for the finale.
Runner Up: Steven Yuen (Invincible)- It is a Walking Dead reunion! Negan vs Glenn! If you think for a MINUTe that was lost on me, you would be dead wrong. If you think I missed this casting bonanza, then I have a lady named Lucille you need to meet. I felt like having Morgan and Yuen in this episode didn’t cause Yuen to just pull out the dramatic weight just for Mark, but for being eliminated from The walking Dead. Yuen gave an excellent heartfelt performance laced in pure fists of fury vengeance. This is the showdown TWD fans have waited for. Glenn Vs Negan: the Redux!
best Moment Of Audio Description- It All Comes Down To This (Invincible)- There were so many great moments in the episode, and i really wanted conquest to have a baseball bat for no reason whatsoever, but the moment that Mark used every ounce of anger to charge at Conquest and shatter his cybernetic fist was epic. It just was.
Runner Up: They Used A Human (North Of North)- I’m hoping that the casting here is responsible, but I’m well aware of the fact that this Canadian import, which just released in the US on Netflix, had TTS audio description when it was shown in Canada. Netflix hired post House to do the audio description, and while I’m not immediately familiar with the writer or narrator, two people with first and last names were credited. So, considering Netflix could have phoned it in and just used the existing AI track, I’m giving them props for not having done that. On a side note, to Netflix (if you should read this), why on earth are you using the UK track for one Of Them Days? Someone alerted me to this. it is a distinctly American story, with a predominantly black cast, and i know this has an American track. What was the thought process?
Worst Of…- The Masked Singer needs audio description. Good American Family needs an identity. Papa’s House needs better writers. Pick one of those things.

There almost certainly wasn’t a “conscious choice” by Netflix to make available the UK AD track for One of them Days rather than the US AD track. It is much more likely that they requested the film from the distributor along with its localizations and accessibility features and made available what they had been given. It is quite likely that the relevant staff from Netflix and Sony were unaware that Sony creates two English AD tracks for most of their films.
Likely totally valid. But, since a lot of these companies don’t really want to talk about why there are gaps in accessibility, it is just left open to the imagination. It probably is Sony’s fault on a bigger scheme, though it might be nice if Netflix had a person whose job was accessibility acquisition, who was acutely familiar with all aspects, and knew to request exactly what it is they need and are looking for. If this had happened, perhaps the film would have an English, and an English UK audio Description track available. Wouldn’t that choice be nice?
