The descriptions, available across only a select few shows and movies, are offer more than just dialogue and sound effects. According to the American Council of the Blind, they’re detailed explanations of what’s going on in each scene, with added context for anyone who can’t get it solely from watching and listening. Audio descriptions are available on both website and mobile versions of HBO Max, but right now they’re limited to shows like Euphoria and His Dark Materials.
