Why so dark??


There have been scenes in the first three episodes, especially ep 3, where it’s so dark you can barely tell what’s going on. What’s the point of a big battle scene if you can’t see what’s happening.

Apparently it's because your TV is not up to par, as some will tell you.

Ha. Some of those are funny. Thank you Melisandre for increasing the lighting.

I agree that it was too dark and hard to see the action. It could be that they wanted the mood to be dark and ominous. My theory is that they saved a lot of money on CGI since less details would be required in the darkness.

Buy Philips Hue and dim your lights before watching.

I guess I must be in the minority, because I thought the dark cinematography added to the suspension. Then again, my TV doesn't have darkness issues.

Not really had it been mostly white i would understand it but it just being dark was done due to budget I bet plus it allows them to control what you see creating suspense.

I had to play around with the settings and got a better resolution but most of the battle scenes were dark.
