Why is the show so dark and hard to see?


It's completely unpleasant to watch. Daytime and night time look practically the same. Even the hospital room during the MRI looks like all the lights are turned out. What moron thought this was a good idea?

They think it looks good, or that it is a good artistic choice for other reasons. Maybe I'm just too unsophisticated in my tastes, but I hate when they go overboard with the dark shots.

Then I'm unsophisticated too. It looks horrible and makes it a chore to watch.

I just came here to see if the conversation is about the dark lighting like most of the amazon reviews . it is .
Think ill pass

Likewise, I hate shows that show battles in complete or near dark where even turning up the brightness doesn't help much if at all. All you see is mostly shadow or hints of where the scene is trying to portray. I call it lazy.

I had this problem watching The Batman at home, found a mode on my smart LG TV called Vivid which makes dark scenes watchable.

reply

I thought the Batman had better lighting than DUNE at least. The nighttime scenes in that movie are unwatchable.

I couldn’t see much of anything in Episode 3. It was filmed so dark that I could only see silhouettes even in scenes supposedly taking place indoors with lights on. Very annoying
