There's a few apps that will accomplish that, though never used.  I've seen text removed/pixelated out with background colors.  Better but sill annoying.  Not sure how good any of the apps work.

 

List of them on Google if search for.  

 

I've been known to use a video editor to hide them behind a black rectangle. Other subtitles then can be placed over them, either embedded or external if precisely positioned. Not worth it unless really needed for some reason, and certainly not if you've got a whole series to do, IMO.

Just finished watching Top Boy, which i can recommend, and saw it starred Barry Keoghan .

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1830379/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
 

Did a little IMDb search for more stuff from Barry K and found this unusual but delightful movie/documentary American Animals.

Barry Keoghan stars as Spencer, who together with his off the wall friend Warren decided to commit a daring heist from their local Kentucky University.

Recruiting a couple of likeminded friends they plan the heist with methodical yet amateurish detail.

 

What could possibly go wrong ??

 

A true story with an interesting format that works very well imho as the real four friends appear throughout the movie to give their interpretation of what actually happened.

Yes - It’s got an interest story, the first series of Top Boy was the best with score by Brian Eno. Then picked up by Drake and in turn went to Netflix.

 

American Animals is a great film, I have seen it a couple of times. A worthy mention.

Shetland -- season 9  BBC1 Crime drama -- 6 episodes

Shetland has been a great series over the years---good acting plots etc


DI Ruth Calder is talking to Malcolm Kidd, a jittery young man holding a shotgun. His brother’s dead body lies on the floor between them. Tosh and the rest of the cavalry are waiting outside. It has to end at some point, but how? Later that night, Tosh attends her friend’s birthday party and witnesses the argument of two married friends, Annie and Ian Bett. Their nine-year-old son, Noah, tells Tosh his parents are separating. Before they leave, Annie arranges a meeting with Tosh the next morning – she wants to speak to her about something important. Annie and Noah are staying with John Harris, a mussel farmer, and his sons Patrick and Fergus. But when Tosh arrives the next morning, there’s no sign of Annie’s car, and she’s not picking up her phone. Where are Annie and Noah?

I have just finished an interesting three part series (59 minutes per episode) from BBC iPlayer, called "Lucan" and it was worth the watch IMO. This especially as the murder and scandal around Lord Lucan happened when I was about 26 years old, and it was the talk of the town, as the saying goes.

 

Obviously I can't give too much of the plot away, however it does focus on one man's crusade to find Lucan, even after all this time, because he had his own reasons.

I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but for those of you who are interested in football, there are a couple of good movies on BBC iPlayer and they are called: – "The Keeper" (about Bert Trautmann and his beginnings and time in English football) and it is very well acted; and the other one is about Brian Clough (also well acted) and his time at Derby County then Leeds United and it is called, "The Damned United".
