Marvel's Daredevil first season is available on Netflix and now fans with visual impairments will be able to enjoy the comic book action. Visual impaired fans spoke out about the fact that they wanted to take part in watching the show but it was hard to follow along.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Netflix answered the desire from fans and is continuing to find ways to make their shows accessible to all. Now the streaming service will be offering audio descriptions for the entire first season of Daredevil.
The descriptions will be an audio feature that will overlay each episode. The audio will explain what is happening in between the dialogue of the show.
Netflix released a statement that they would make this option available for other original programing, including House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.
The statement explained the feature in more detail, "Audio description is a narration track that describes what is happening on-screen, including physical actions, facial expressions, costumes, settings and scene changes."
