Speech was drowned out most of the time by obtrusive background music.

Very difficult to hear.

Music overwhelms dialogue
mainstream-3230314 February 2023
The constant high level of never ending music drowns out over 50% of the narration. It never stops. I quit watching after 10 min. Because of how annoying it was. I am an audio enginner with GREAT hearing.
Sadly, this is the problem with many younger sound engineers with poor ears to know the correct mix. I find the dialogue in many newer movies in the past 10 years to be bad in this way. It is mostly due to improper digital mixing and monitoring, by not considering "perceived" volume over measured volume and BALANCE. It does not need to be constantly playing which causes listeners fatigue.
Music is to enhance the feel and support the dialogue, not overwhelm it.
