This is interesting from an accessibility perspective. I've been learning how to do integrated audio description in my writing, and it's super not easy. Sometimes the best way is to embrace its weirdness, rather than trying to blend it into the dialogue. Figuring out what conceit for AD best fits the voice and aesthetic of a show is a significant piece of work, but also a lot of fun!

Netflix does usually have an AD track available for visually impaired users, which happens to also helpful when multitasking. Imagine if they invested in quality and creativity of AD, and promoted its use to viewers who don't consider themselves to have an access need - what interesting new opportunities would that open up for writers, actors, and sound engineers?
