Exactly this. The reason audio sounds shit in so many new shows is that by default, you are probably listening to the 5.1 surround sound track. Bonus points for if your TV has stereo rear facing speakers. You're absolutely never, ever going to hear fuck all with that. Some film and TV shows will allow you to select the stereo (or sometimes called original) track. If you do, I guarantee the audio will sound miles better.
