In Finland, the best subtitles were and still are made at YLE (our BBC). That's because they directly employ have their own translators. Everywhere else (other networks, streaming services, home media) the quality has been going down for the last few decades, as all translations are outsourced. The cost has been pushed as low as possible. I've read subtitlers complaining about thight schedules and low pay, forcing you to spend less than a minute on average per sentence. Netflix nowadays seems a bit better than competition though – maybe not that surprising when thinking about their budget vs some small ad-driven TV channel.
