The Engram

Maybe it's my aging eyes but there seems to me to be a trend that producers spend as little money on lighting as possible. Even the outdoor scenes are difficult to see. The story is fine but it's annoying that everything is so dark.

This may end up being a enjoyable series, but the action scenes in Episode 1 we're chopped up, confusing, dark, and used overly shaky camera work.

Frankly, I have no idea what happened and couldn't tell the good guys from the bad guys.

I'll keep watching, but if the remainder of the series is filmed like this I will not finish it.

Seriously it has been a while since a serious military series that is top notch a while. Maybe the film The Outpost that comes to my mind, in the times of Top Gun Maverick hitting the billion mark and more and more people are bored with the agenda of the certain mouse, this is a quality show that is indeed not for everyone.

As a big fan of the books, and having looked forward to this for a VERY long time, the team did not disappoint!

The story differs from the book, but the story telling is fantastic & gets the audience to feel incredible powerful emotions in a great way.

Many have complained about the lighting & it being dark. I didn't have any complaints. Maybe others are watching on small screens or something - I watched in 4K on my wall mounted TV & felt it was REALLY high-quality production. They truly did film this like a big budget movie.

I cannot wait for the remaining episodes & hopefully - next seasons.

To be honest, while the majority of the episode presented an intriguing plot, it was simply too slow and lethargic. I didn't really want to watch on. However, the ending was brilliant. Well crafted and intense. Will definitely want to watch next episode.
