For this one show (John Oliver) I download, I always get ALL CAPS and poorly synced subtitles. The text seems OK, but it's barely usable because very off-sync. I'm curious: where do these subs come from?

I just saw in the airport someone watching "Gilmore girls" on Netflix and it had ALL CAPS English subtitles. They also seemed out of sync, the mom was speaking with no subs under her figure

So a source of those poor quality subs might be Netflix that just trusted broadcast subs
