Love it but sound issues

As others have stated, the show overall is wonderful but the sound mix is ridiculously loud and you cannot hear the narrator between the interviews!

Ridiculous job on the sound mix; if sound was good - would be a great show

The volume of the voice over is mixed too low and it's impossible to hear and follow the narrator. Ridiculous the output was allowed to be delivered like that..

The content itself is very entertaining and relaxing to watch- if you work hard to ignore the awful audio issues of course..

Great show, if you can hear the dialogue

As others have stated, the music overpowers the dialogue so badly that it's hard to hear it. Other than that the show is great.

Great Show shame about the loud and unnecessary music

The music which seems to drown out Caroline's commentary most of the time. Not necessary and adds nothing to the show we would rather hear what she is saying.

Awesome Restoration Efforts But ...

I just recently discovered this series ans quickly viewed the first season and thoroughly enjoyed it. I moved on to season two and the subject matter remains wonderful but the soundtrack is infuriating! The "background" music is so loud and piercing it all but completely drowns out the commentary. Strumming guitars and electric pianos do not add anything to these episodes and, if the volume is adjusted for scenes with normal speaking, the scenes with music are on the verge of painful. I don't know what they were thinking!
