Just started season 10...
14 years after Season 9. The filming and lighting style is what I call "modern slop".
One thing I've realized is that throughout the 90's up until the last ep of season 9 - the filming and lighting were excellent. The acting was nuanced and you didn't get too many "talking head scenes" where there's a long conversation segment of just the actors faces with the camera behind the shoulder.
Enter season 10 and yea everything is wore.
Darker (as in lighting is worse)
Horrible acting (side characters are trying too hard)
The filming style (mentioned before with the talking head scenes, and overall it just felt less engaging.
In previous seasons, you'd get very interesting angles. Camera movement wasn't relied on so heavily in the sense that the camera moved maybe once in a scene to establish some mood or tell the audience something. With Season 10 (or modern slop) the camera is constantly moving throughout the scene. It takes away from the mood building.
What changed? I've noticed this in so many modern film and TV shows. It's like everyone has the exact same playbook and they all changed at the same time.
