9. My issues are with the dark cinematography that renders so many tv shows (and movies played on tv)

totally unwatchable. I suppose if I had a theater-sized tv it MIGHT be better, but after all the blowback to shows like Game of Thrones for this, it has only gotten worse. I had a friend over who wanted to watch some of the Walking Dead spinoff shows (I got bored with it years ago) and when I popped in, whichever one she was watching was unwatchable. Granted I don't have mega-sized TVs, but how in the hell do people stream these shows on Ipads and laptops?

More and more shows shoot 75% or more of episodes in the pitch dark and do little to make it viewable. They once were able to shoot nighttime action in a way to render it watchable. What the hell happened?
