Sorry to hear that (no pun intended)
It is very good, honestly
Subtitles & sound off? But thatād not give the best experience I guess.
Strange. I struggle with many shows, but not The Expanse. Had real problems when we moved the box here from the sandpit
Maybe tweak your audio settings on your TV? I tweaked mine and found a better balance

I need to fiddle around with the subtitles. The basic problem is that my artificial hearing has only 16 channels and struggles with background noise (worth remembering if I ever get to a meet-up) so background music really kills the dialogue. Iām struggling with new season of The Witcher too, and canāt figure the subtitles settigns.

Iāve got 2 channels (ears) and struggle with conversations in pubs, restaurants and some TV shows etc.
Maybe I need an ear test.

Pardon?
But seriously Iām not in hearing aid land but one ear is better than the other & likewise if there is background noise (eg pub) I can struggle if someone says something on mycwrong side!
I didnt realise how much I relied on watching peoples mouths move when talking to them until masks hit the world and suddenly lost the ability to hear them.

Well youāre all in denialā¦you have hearing loss.
This was my āSotonianās Milestoneā comment from May last yearā¦
"This afternoon I picked up my first set of hearing aids.
After years of denial followed by trivialising and finally acceptance of the march of time I thought it was time to give in to the nagging and get my hearing tested.
It was much as I expectedā¦top end hearing lossā¦mid-range not too bad, lower range good. Itās the classic age related hearing loss. I knew what was happening as I hadnāt heard the local Sky Larks on my dog walks for over 5 years, they are still there, just I could no longer hear them.
What I like about modern hearing aids is they can be tuned to your specific loss so theyāre much better and more easily controlled than in the past. It will take a few days to get used to them but now Lady Slowlane is complaining Iām speaking too quietly. "

Just watched the latest episode of Bobba Fitt, holy shit visual effects have come a long way in the last year or so, hit me right in the nostalgias.
Also good episode for Clone Wars fans.

A most brilliant episode that didnāt try not
I am having something of a break from my sci-fi stuff at present. After the last decade or so of Marvel films, Star Wars saturation and Star Trek re-invention, I feel like Iāve eaten fuck all but cinematic sweets for a while.
Iām also really enjoying the book of boba fett, as are my kids, yet all I read are critics whinging about it.
Recently theyāve been complaining that we are getting episodes of the Mandalorian but with the wrong title. As though the title somehow makes the program bad. I canāt believe that any genuine Star Wars Fan gives a fuck.

This.
The opening episodes were tedious (Iām being polite) but can now see where it is going so all makes sense.
Ep6 is up there in Star Trek Prodigy Ep6 territory
Very good
But before I go all out on Boba
Prodigy just keeps getting better.
It seems Paramount + have done a deal with Sky so should be more widely available in UK later in the year.
Yes the season finale was most excellent
