..or so dark you can often barely see a thing.

I think both of these issues are actually bandaids for more fundamental problems in modern media production.

These cheap sets and costumes look terrible; hey no problem we’ll just set the scene at night. Fake blue night light is out of style so let’s use more minimalist lighting; it worked for these other critically acclaimed scenes so it will work for us.

Damn, this dialogue sounds so stupid. Let’s have the actors mumble realistically so it sounds more genuine. Hmm, it’s still stupid, better make sure the sound effects and music are on point.

A thousand times this. My poor dad has very low vision, but loves Netflix. Many of the shows he tries to watch are so dark that he can't tell what's going on. Nor can I, for that matter. There's atmosphere, and then there's poor cinematography.
