TV Shows Watched: Dune Prophecy: S1E3 (MAX) with audio description, Somebody Somewhere: S3E6 (MAX) with audio description, Tracker: S2E8 (Paramount Plus) with audio description, and Interior Chinatown: S1E9 (Hulu) No Audio Description?

Podcasts: None

YouTube: None

Movies Watched: Sugarcane (Screener) No Audio Description

So bizarre that the 9th episode for Interior Chinatown didn’t have AD. The first 8 did. I’m sure it is a glitch, but maybe they’re doing what Peacock did with Fight Night and just giving up before the end. very odd watching an episode of a highly stylized show without audio description, which is why I still went ahead with it. This show has basically slightly altered its format every episode to reflect some new TV crime drama tropes, which they did here, while still advancing the plot. I couldn’t get all the extra stuff thrown at me like in the previous 8 episodes, about the visual elements behind those choices, which was disappointing. Now I’m wondering, with one episode left, to I dare to go forward? Is it just a one episode glitch, or does the finale lack it as well?

A few weeks ago, I remarked how odd it was to watch Season 7 of 911, which was all audio described… except the finale. I mean, i guess I’d rather have audio description frontloaded on all the shows, so we can get the foundation, but it does kinda suck when the audio description disappears at the end.
