The quality of the subtitles has been going downhill for years.
HBO (streaming) makes a mess of it, regularly putting the wrong language in (e.g. French subtitles when it should be English). Missing subtitles, especially for new episodes, or most episodes in a season have subtitles but one or two don't.
My personal bugbear is when no English subtitle is available. I prefer English over Dutch subtitles because of the bad translation nowadays. In the past a translator would watch the episode so they have context for the translation. Nowadays they only get the script, so often you get weird translations. Technically correct translations, but not contextually correct. And sometimes I don't even think a human translated it, but it's just been Google translated.
