I've been following the show since its premiere and was blown away by the concept. However, the cinematography really holds back the potential of what the show can be. Every time I watch, it feels like I'm watching a TV commercial.
The seriousness and reality get's lost in the overly bright color correction and typical TV lensing. I can't help but imagine if the show's color treating was a bit more desaturated to give it a more serious tone, and would be epic for this show.
The perfect example of great cinematography and tone would be AMC'S The Killing, or better yet ABC'S recent show American Crime. In which both were lens beautifully with nice wide shots and detailed focus on painting a visually stunning and realistic world.
Overall I do love this show but feel it falls short on that note which is a bit disappointing for me, but let's see how the season progresses maybe the shooting style & tone will progress with popularity.
