Muttering and loud background noise or music.
Sometimes, I have to replay a portion of the dialogue several times just to figure out what a character said.

I agree, of course it’s epidemic with everyone, so partly just reflected by the new actors.
To go along with this is realistic whispering in the movie production. Gets so low you can’t tell what’s going on - along with dark shadowy scenes.

WE watch Longmire on Monday night and the mumbling is the bad. We will run it back several times trying to understand some of the dialog.

Nearly as annoying as the flashlight idiocy. That is when they walk into a room with the blinds drawn and they turn on their flashlight.
They don't open the blinds, they don't turn on the fricking light, they turn on their flashlights. Apparently they don't actually want to see what is in the room.

How about “The Killing” on AMC? Fine drama, but most of the actors mumble their way through the dialogue. We’re constantly asking one another, “What did he/she just say?”

Subtitles for those who, like myself, can’t understand those who talk both low in volume, high in speed, and incoherent in enunciation.

I think the Brits are a little thin-skinned re: mumbled lines. Back in 2006 there was a BBC series called “Life on Mars”. One of the characters had an accent so thick they sub-titled him every time he spoke. Great series, though.

I see this regularly on TV shows and movies in the U.S. Poor diction, everybody talks as fast as they can, everybody talking at the same time. “Oh that’s ‘authentic’, that’s how people really talk when they know each other”, blah blah. And when they’re doing it with a foreign accent, like Robert Downey in the Sherlock Holmes movie? I gave up after about 15 minutes.
