It's not necessarily poor production standards, or badly recorded audio, or even people mumbling (excpet maybe British TV shows, lol), but rather the problem is often that the show was recorded for playback on a 5 speaker surround sound system. The dialog or spoken words are separated from other sounds like music and other effects. Spoken words are supposed to be played on a separate center speaker. Unfortunately, if it is being played back on a regular 2 speaker system, not all devices downmix the audio back together properly. But if you have a 5 speaker system, try turning up the center channel.
I have tinnitus something awful, so I often turn on the closed captioning to be able to understand what is being said without straining too much. Also, I just like to see how some words are spelled. Hopefully the captioner got them right.
I think I've read shows like Downton Abbey as much as I've watch them.
