I think the dark thing is to hide crappy CGI, which doesn't blend well with physical sets and costumes under good lighting.
The actual article content here about the reasons for dialogue getting worse is interesting. I'd have suspected it's mostly about the actors no longer being predominantly stage-trained, but apparently that is part of it but a small part. I don't really notice it personally, though, since my wife is deaf, so ever since marrying her, I've watched everything with closed captioning on.
- drcongo 5y agoI gave up watching Ozark because I couldn't see a damn thing that was happening, and that has no CGI at all. Sometimes it really is just a (bad) stylistic choice.
- yurishimo 5y agoI think it's probably more related to the move to HDR content. Modern movies/tv are shot and edited with HDR in mind. HDR usually has much more granular control over the brightness within a scene, not just that one part can get super bright. That's great for people with TV's capable of that type of playback, but for everyone else, tough luck unless you have a blacked-out home theatre room to watch all you casual TV in. I saw a great example of this in a recent LTT video[0] of a cheap "HDR" TV. The shadows all blended together and the highlights just looked like a flat white instead of a very lightly shadowed sparkle. 0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGHwYMwXX88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGHwYMwXX88
