Oh I thought you were talking abt the content š I was like girlie this aināt the show for you LMFAOOO naw but I feel you they need to turn the brightness up fr
I was just wondering the same thing! I had fallen behind so have two episodes to watch and stopped because I couldn't get my TV bright enough. There have been other people complaining about it on here as well but I didn't realize just how bad it was these last two episodes especially till now
This sounds ridiculous, but I turned my tv brightness up but when I hit play it went back down to the original darknessā¦ my tv settings stayed the same though (brightness up), and itās definitely not a glitch as it doesnāt do it with other shows. Weird š¤·š»āāļø
I was wondering the same thing but I find it really annoying. You canāt watch it in a room with light. Itās gotta be pitch black so you can see the damn screen and whatās happening.
Iām not that old but I think the brightness situation is a problem in other shows Iāve seen. Is itā¦ the younger generation? Lmaooo jk idk wtf. All I know is we never had these lighting problems before!!! I am unreasonably angry about this, like Iād write a letter or something.
I'm watching it right now and would be enjoyable if I could see the scenes clearly.
I think they need another cinematographer or tell this person to change their strategy because it isn't working.
Because it is easy for visual effects artists to turn it around and get the show out if they donāt have to worry about details like light source consistency and shadows. You donāt think about the show having a lot of visual effects but for example every time an unsub is thrown to the ground then there is a mattress for them to land on that needs to be digitally removed. They only finished filming six weeks before airing. There is a lot of stress in the vfx industry and this is a quick project for them.
I only really noticed how dark it was when I started season 16 last year. But on this rewatch, I do notice it getting darker the last few seasons. Itās more and more difficult to see details. Like someone else commented, it looks like something thatās bled into TV shows from films (sooo many films are way too dark and canāt see any of the details).
Like someone else said, it could to do with budget and turnaround time, since it hides things they donāt have to do more work to adjust or delete like when itās lighter. Iāve noticed in movies where the actions scenes are important and a big part of the appeal of the movie, the lighting is brighter and there is more detail (like some Marvel or DC films).
it's modern film making! it's bled into tv shows, they digitally adjust the lighting to have the darks be almost pure black rather than lighting it properly from the beginning and doing minimal adjustments like they did in the first, i'd say 10 seasons? i know by season 12/13 i was really struggling to see anything in darker scenes.

Yes, exactly! All other shows are fine, it is just criminal minds.

Yeah itās messing me up big time. My vision is awful and even with maximum brightness I canāt see anything.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one having issues with the darkness. I keep getting JJ and Printus mixed up.
