I'm going to blame this on Marlon Brando, with his performance in The Godfather: actors are obliged to adopt muffled pronunciation these days to show just how in the part they are.

ii) too many flashbacks or jumpforwards to characters who look a little too similar to each other. Anyone else find that confusing ?

ii) Couldn't the producers have paid a bit extra for more lightbulbs? There are so many scenes shot at night or in a half light. In my house, when the tv screen is almost dark, it acts like a mirror that reflects with surprising clarity the sunlight streaming through my windows so I can see almost nothing of the actual scene.

So yesterday, I was trying to watch Ozark, but found instead that I was straining to understand what a person I could neither see nor recognise was saying. Not sure I can be bothered to do that again today.

Instead I might watch Derry Girls again. This prog is also difficult to understand without subtitles, but is at least well-lit and funny.
