Its not about Dutch Angles at all - this article just sucks. Trust me - I am a film nerd. I own a camera on the Netflix approved list. There is absolutely no reason shooting in 4K HDR on the approved cameras and then going through Netflix compression would result in any of the things they are talking about at the start (moody lighting, etc etc). This is just a stylistic choice when shot / lit / edited. In fact shooting on one of Netflix approved cameras and shooting in something like 4K HDR ProRess or DNxHD gives you a ton MORE flexiblity to colour correct your footage for a completely different look after the fact. If they wanted to they could re-edit The Sandman right now and make the whole thing an insanely colourful show. Goodluck doing that shooting in compressed H264. TLDR: Netflix just likes greenlighting a lot of angsty content and that kind of content gets lit, shot, and colour corrected like this (current day). Its just the current style at the time. It also looks really impressive if you do have a 4K HDR TV and maximizes the higher dynamic range.
