Treat forced subtitles as optional
A lot of shows and movies can have non-english parts that require forced subtitles without you even realising beforehand. A good example of this is Anchorman, where Baxter barks and it gets subtitled.
Because of this, it is almost a necessity to set Bazarr to download forced subtitles by default for everything that gets added, because no one wants to have to manually find them once you're halfway through a show or movie.
When forced subtitles are requested, that show or movie perpetually remains in the list of wanted subtitles, which makes sense a lot of the time however it's unnecessary clutter when they're just waiting for forced subtitles.
My suggestion is to treat forced subtitles as more optional. Like a best effort. Maybe in the wanted tab to have a checkbox for "forced" so you can get rid of all the clutter and see which files actually need the other subtitles you were after too.

MichaelThis is something I was going to request. This would be fantastic.
There are also a couple ways of approaching this. I
It would be interesting if some how Bazarr is able to determine if a movie or show should have forced subtitles available. Maybe this is in a publicly available database somewhere? (E.g. imdb,etc).
