'Daredevil' -- Blind Fans Blast Netflix ... We Can't See Or Hear Your Show! - TMZ.com

EXCLUSIVE

Blind fans of the Netflix series “Daredevil” might not be able to see the show, but their voice has sure been heard … as the company has decided to add an important feature … so the blind can get the full experience.

The new Marvel series — about a blind crime-fighting lawyer — launched without optimization for the vision impaired (it is closed captioned, but that doesn’t do blind people any good).

Specifically … the show didn’t have an “audio description” option, which is a second soundtrack that describes on-screen action. A bunch of understandably frustrated fans stared a petition to get Netflix to add the feature.

The petition points out Netflix doesn’t do this for most of its shows, but “starting with ‘Daredevil’ would be a great step.”

And what do you know … it worked!  Netflix just announced it was adding the audio description option for “Daredevil” and the same feature will soon be available for its other shows.

Fun fact: “Daredevil” co-star Deborah Ann Woll‘s real-life BF is blind … and dressed as Double-D for the show’s premiere party. Pretty awesome.
