Hi Paul,

The artists behind the shows all work together usually to engage the viewer, and sandwich the story, acting and technology to do this. So try to rip open that sandwich and look at the individual components. Is it a boring story? Bad acting? Or a subject matter you're not interested in?

If the technology is really good, you won't notice it. But if its bad, you will. A great story shot on VHS would suck no matter what because the low quality picture and sound would be a distraction nowadays.

4K is beautiful, and not just for pixel resolution. 4K and HDR can really let good cinematographers shine and add alot of dramatic oomph to a scene. Learn to love the technology.
