This is a long-standing problem, there are many complaints written to Heloise and Dear Annie about this so-called music. One reason we have Netflix is that they have excellent closed captioning that syncs well with the spoken dialogue. The show, "Criminal Minds" for example, was unwatchable until we tried cc.

I wonder, since it is such a common complaint, why show producers don't just soften the damn music.
