@lemmy.worldYup. As written elsewhere - 96% of material looks perfect. It's only certain shows and movies (but actually not really any movies, that I can think of)
Yeah, that is my problem. I have calibrated my new TV to meet optimal color and light levels - and it looks absolutely great in like 96% of all I've thrown at it.
But watching See last night was a nightmare. And I know AppleTV+ can look good, as I just finished watching Silo, and even though that by design is also a quite dark show, I never lost sight of what was going on.
I guess there's not much to do other than turn up the brightness. Which shouldn't be necessary. But alas, the world is not perfect.
Regarding your last question, I think it's "just" a totalitarian approach to not wanting people researching too much on their own and gathering to much knowledge about how things work and in the end being able to develop unwanted skills.
The strike wasn't the only problem though. There's apparently been quite some trouble between the show runner and head writer, I believe, that delayed the production even before the strike.
Really hoping it doesn't show in the final product. Season 2 of Severance is my most anticipated seasons of a TV show for years.
It struck me that Bernard clearly didn't know about the door. His reaction when Jules mentioned looked quite a bit like surprise.
OH my, I'm looking forward to next season
I'm willing to bet that the big door at the bottom is access to the other silos.
I'm also quite sure that Holston is probably dead. Along with everyone else, that went outside.
I had this thought last night, after seeing the finale. What if the other silos are open to each other, and only Silo 18 (I'm guessing it the number based on the key to the mainframe having number 18 on it) is closed off / isolated? Maybe because of it being the origin of the rebellion? As some sort of sanction. Or maybe to contain The Syndrome - whatever that even is.
I know it's far fetched. But who knows? (Other than the millions of people who've read the books, of cause ;-))
