Is it also possibly a bit of protest against people watching movies at home on a television? That's assuming the dark scenes are easier to see in a theater.

This insufferable trend is popular in made-for-netflix shows. If that's a protest against the medium, it's a weird one.

  • Yeah, just wondering. I know another trend, indecipherable sound, is also odd. Because, for example, I had to walk out of "Public Enemy" in a theater...I couldn't hear the dialogue. But it was watchable at home where I could mess with settings until I could hear.

  • Which is so word since the compression there leads to pretty heavy banding there, despite pretty heroic work on the part of Netflix's tech staff.
