Sweeping epic and cinematic production values made for TV

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2019)

As a big budget epic ultimately made for a smaller screen, the lighting balance was bang on - even dark scenes were discernible mid-afternoon in my living room. Additionally, the sound was *excellent*. All dialogue - even the thick accents - was clear and evenly balanced, and I didn't have to adjust the sound wildly to not be deafened by battle scenes or strain to hear TC's Hal's sotto voce tones. The cinematography was great - no pixeated blurring when the camera panned quickly - and the colours looked gorgeous. In short: cinematic production values exceptionally well employed for television viewing. Chalamet & Sean Harris very good. Pattinson hilariously villainous - as intended.
