Furthermore, avoid "auto-generated" AI subtitles. Spartacus uses a lot of background whisper dialogue (e.g., Ilythia plotting in season 1). AI misses these. You need manually transcribed SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing). Absolutely. Trying to download subtitles episode by episode is a nightmare. One episode will have a +2 second offset; the next will have a -1 second offset.
However, for many viewers—especially non-native English speakers, the hearing impaired, or those watching on noisy commutes—finding accurate is the difference between frustration and immersion.
