The Walking Dead
 
Just watched the latest episode of The Walking Dead and I'm really disappointed that the entire episode was in darkness,making it extremely difficult to follow what's happening. Does anyone else find this very annoying?

I dont watch the walking dead, so I could not find it annoying specifically in that show.

However, I do find it irritating in other shows.

Glad it's not just me then.

Avoid another Netflix show then, a German show called Dark. As well as the story being dark (about child murder and kidnapping) the show is permanently shot in dimly lit scenes, but if you want a adult drama with a heavy dollop of time travel, this is a good 'urn.

I assume he means episode 8, the half way point of the series.
I can see what he means, however a lot of it was set at night time so darkness is hardly surprising. Didn't particularly ruin it for me.

I know it all took place at night but once upon a time program makers used more light and left the viewer to understand it's dark.

I know this is going to sound really stupid and dumb but I didn't even notice it. I had to play the episode again to see what you was going on about because I completely forgot it was set at night time. I know series have dark episodes/night time episodes and it does my nut it when you can hardly see what is going on but although this ep is set at night time I don't think it is too dark. I didn't even think about it at the time and if there was something that was obscured because of the lack of light or I couldn't see what was going on I would have noticed and moaned (to myself) straight away.

To be honest I find the frequent mumbling indistinct dialogue more annoying, perhaps i'm going a bit deaf :shocked:. I do take your point though, they could have used better lighting for some of the scenes. They probably think it's "arty" and atmospheric to watch it through a haze.

Or just lazy? The actors don't need to do much acting! In fact in many scenes they could of substituted the whole cast and I wouldn't of noticed! Maybe that's what they did gave the cast the Christmas off!

Nope never seen it. Not into shows where majority of them are getting naked just to sell a series.

Yes, clearly you havent watched it - if thats your belief about its content. :erm:

The majority most certainly dont get naked, in fact its really not that much a part of it at all, and certainly not why people watch it.
