Radio on TV? Netflix Now Wants Characters in Shows and Movies Describing What They’re Doing on Screen

Netflix is telling screenwriters it wants characters in its shows and movies to verbalize what they are doing on screen. So, if a character is eating an apple in his car he would say, ‘I’m eating this apple in my car.’ Netflix is doing this so subscribers can know what’s going on in a show or movie while it is on in the background without having to actually watch it.

Some posters say there is already a similar option available on some programs, but it is for those who are visually-impaired.

Some say making descriptiive dialogue mandatory will damage programming with ridiculous amounts of exposition.

Others say it feels like a classic radio show revival is happening on TV.

Many fear this will be taken to extremes by citing funny examples from Family Guy and R. Kelly’s Trapped in the Closet music video. (WATCH)

Other commenters have a more cynical take. They say Netflix is admitting the obvious.

It seems streaming services are realizing with more people on their phones, there is an audience for programming that doesn’t require undivided attention or eyes on the screen. What a concept - TV you don’t actually watch! We oldtimers remember when that was called radio.
