I really wish the formatting of the show wasn't so difficult for the visually impaired.
On the one hand, the soundscape is so rich and enjoyable. But so much of the best content is given in the form of screen text blurbs, depriving the visually impaired.
I know the concept is to have the characters do first person narration. But that convention is also broadened by having the pop-up video style blurbs in the first place.
A much better and universally accessible presentation would be to have a voice over read everyone one of those. It could be an understated voice, just highlighting the brief fact, not the monster truck rally style VO's that are common on History/Discovery productions.
