Has anyone else watched this show with audio descriptions on?
The audio descriptions make it possible to enjoy the series. I'm partially sighted and have trouble discerning fine details visually. I use them together with closed captioning to discern the events going on when the scenes go quiet or dark.
Without them, I would not be able to enjoy the series to the fullest. I'm a little worried that some of the subtle background info such as
go unmentioned. I'll have to re-watch to really listen for those cues. They add a pleasant flair to the series, which more non-sighted people should get to experience, in my opinion. Similarly, I gotta re-watch with an eye for distinct mentions of diversity in the cast. In my neck of the woods, a lot of blind people assume everyone is white unless told otherwise, which is why that is relevant.
I noticed fairly quickly that Aes Veshan had made a Wheel of Time Teaser trailer with audio descriptions, when I was looking for an audio described version of the official teaser trailer back when it was released. I remember hoping that the series itself would have them, because I was so, so giddy.
I'm so, so glad the show has these options. I hope they're available to non-English speaking fans as well. And I wanted to share that joy with the rest of you. :joy

when the warders cuddle up by the fire, or other nonverbal representations of different sexualities
