[Electronics-Talk] Audio descriptions

[Daniel Perry]

Hello there. Yes indeed, there is a link that pulls up the audio described 
content on netflix, and it's all the way at the bottom of the page. Simply 
scroll all the way down and move upward until you see a link that says audio 
description, and you'll then be able to see all of the audio described 
content netflix has on offer.
