I've taken to leaving the close captions on for everything. Except for
those shows where it doesn't sync.

I mainly use CC for shows that involve people with accents (I have to use them
for MOBLAND) and shows with hyper-technical language, i.e., BILLIONS and INDUSTRY.
I've started turning them on if I'm eating while watching. The sound of chewing in my own head-- particularly anything crunchy, like Doritos-- makes hearing the dialogue difficult.

I'll put captions on sometimes too but it amuses (and concerns) me
sometimes how mistaken they are. Whoever writes them seems to just be listening to them in real time and then writing down what they think
they heard rather than consulting the script or even using common sense.
I wish I could think of a concrete example but I'm drawing a blank at
the moment. Nevertheless, the captions ARE wrong sometimes. Mind you,
the ones done by the studio for a streamed show or theatrical movie are pretty much always right; it's more a case of AI-based captioning, like
what YouTube uses, that's pretty iffy.

I routinely see captions that are based on the original script. What surprising to me is it this happens with 50-year-old western TV series.

I distinctly remember watching the pilot of "Kindred: The Embraced"
which was a shot lived vampire series in the mid 90s. At the end of the pilot the lead actor was talking on the phone with another character
about a vampire encounter. I don't recall exactly what they were saying
in the audio version, but the closed captions were totally different.
In the captions the character was being taunted that due to being bit he
was going to turn into a vampire himself. That must have been a dropped
plot line they had originally planned so they ADR the phone call, but
forgot to change the captions.
