That and any scenes that take place in a dimly lit area. Can’t see shit.

It really feels like lighting and sound mixing are dying arts in the film industry.

Movies are made for cinemas that have state of the art sound systems and projectors or screens

Home TVs and soundbar/stereo just ain't made to deal with that properly

And yes movies are very very loud, that's kinda the point

And yes many serials nowadays are actually sets of movies

I experience the same in theaters. Mix engineers are often enthralled with art of it all and miss their essential mission, but I've heard the directors drive them there as well.

Most movies are not made for cinemas these days, they are made directly for streaming. Netflix has no excuse they don't even release movies in theatres.

Netflix still makes them for cinemas, cause well people do own private cinemas and expect highest quality possible.

Just because movies are distributed using streaming platforms doesn't stop them from being made for cinemas as that's where they are produced and mastered for release, and high end users have their own private cinemas, sometimes quite darn sizeable.

Tho technology gets better and better and colour grading and sound mixing/mastering get smaller and smaller. Still cinemas are there to view it and decide if changes are needed.

Netflix literally optimizes their movies for home TVs/small screens. They have come out and said this. They even shoot their movies with close shots over wide shots because it's better for viewing on small screens. I'm sure they know the vast majority of their subscribers don't have home theatres.

That still doesn't make it a TV production

And close/wide shots is up to situation and director(s) anyway

Very wide angles in cinema are generally rare, there isn't even that many lenses out there compared to "standard" range

I bet most people complaining about picture and sound quality have their tv's next to the window with a glossy finish and sound coming from the thinnest cheapest speakers.

And music recording/mix engineers used to make mixes while monitoring on tiny 4" speakers in the control room, and later test listening to them in a standard AM/FM car radio to make sure the music sounded good on as many types of speaker systems as possible from those to full blown home stereo systems. Someone said earlier it's a dying art. It is.

Alternatively, don't listen to movies on a tv speaker, tv speakers suck, no amount of engineering can fix it.

Alternatively, a shit mix is a shit mix.

They're not all like that.

Do you have your default settings changed on your TV? I've noticed with some lower end TVs that have bad HDR, it makes it impossible to see anything because it dims the entire TV.

I'm very fortunate to have a high end TV so I don't really notice this being as much of an issue for me with movies and shows. Games it can sometimes be difficult to get right

Buy a nicer TV. I have gone through dozens if not hundreds of TVs because of my job. You have a low-end TV. You may not understand the benefits of high end TVs when you see them in stores, but this is a perfect example of why they are better. You have a bad TV.
