I tried a load of different versions including blu-ray rips IIRC, and it was all just as bad.

When I last rewatched it (early pandemic), as far as I could tell at the time there was no HDR version available, which I assume would fix it by being able to represent more variation in the darker colours.

I might hunt one down at some point as it does exist now. Though it still wouldn’t make season 8 ‘good’ !!
