Manhunt (2024)
Sounded great, Wish I could've seen it
Yes I know that electric lighting was not available in 1865 but this was so dark it was hard to follow. I would happily sacrifice a tiny bit of realism if it meant I could actually see the characters. I do not understand why filmmakers insist on shooting in such low light. They might as well make it a radio play and save the money spent on costumes, makeup and scenery. I ran out of things to say but there is a minimum number of characters. So I guess I will just keep typing random words until I meet this arbitrary and totally ridiculous requirement. It has been said that brevity is the soul of wit,

Turn On The Lights
I had such high hopes for the return of one of my favorite series, but with each episode I am more disappointed. It's not the story line, It's the lighting. Or rather, the "lack of lighting".
I understand they are trying to "set a mood" but the lighting is so bad I can hardly follow the action. Sure, some scenes take place outdoors at night, but even the internal scenes, like the interactions between Tara and Rebecca, and JJ and Will are so dim that it's hard to see what is going on.
In this episode it appears that the flashback scenes were shown in B&W, but the rest of the episode was so dimly lit that it was almost impossible to tell the difference.
If they are going to make the program so dark, why not save the money on sets and costumes and just make it a podcast?

Why is everything so dark? I guess they're trying to set a mood, but it might as well have been a radio program.
