"A lot of the problem is that a lot of people don’t know how to tune their TVs properly,” cinematographer Fabien Wagner tells Wired UK. “A lot of people also unfortunately watch it on small iPads, which in no way can do justice to a show like that anyway.” Wagner adds: “The showrunners decided that this had to be a dark episode. We’d seen so many battle scenes over the years – to make it truly impactful and to care for the characters, you have to find a unique way of portraying the story.”
