citrusification I think that was the POINT.

I haven’t read the article yet, but I suspect the producers did that (dark scenes & settings) to save on production costs AND to make everyone feel discombobulated and anxious.

Turn ur brightness up on the tv and it helps.

I’ve watched a lot of night scenes that were realistic AND I could see what was going on. This was one of the worst. I couldn’t see a thing and have no idea the fate of some major characters. I shouldn’t have to “buy a new tv” (to quote many on Twitter) to see what’s happening.

imhoing to go out in a limb and say these complainers are REAL fans smh 🤦🏼‍♀️

It was perfect. Everything looked great on my screen. Lol

denesse95 y’all need new tvs

Put your glasses on, turn off all the lights, and stop complaining!

I will never forgive them for robbing me of seeing that snack Jaime fighting.

Watching the episode on HBOLatino and the lightning is better-ish.

You guys it was dark because they were trying to make it realistic... just not realistic enough to put helmets on the main characters.

It was perfect, so immersive. They made us feel as desperate as the situation was... Masterpiece of a battle

It’s the long night, that’s why 🙄

I thouht it waa me

Firstly IT WAS NIGHT! 2ndly I had my house lights out and had an ambient light string behind my HDTV. I didn't have a problem. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

YES! I literally had to hang blankets in all of my windows to watch it this morning.

I’m one of these fans.

HAHA, I thought it was only me but apparently about a billion others had problems seeing any of the action!

I guess people are upset that the name 'Broad Ass Daylight King' just didn't have a nice ring to it as 'Night King'

Let me just go ahead and tag rgay cause she's BEEN saying this and shenaint wrong.

It is dark so they save money on special effects. Covers up lots. I insist on turning out the lights for romance for the same reason.

I liked the lighting. It made you feel like you were there. I liked all the smoke and dust too because you got that feeling of looking across the battlefield, seeing someone dying, and trying to see if it’s someone you love but not being sure

Fans are not aware of the display adjustmemts of their TVs?

JackieQuintana did you see you're in this?!

the, 'wait WHO WAS THAT, WHO DID THAT WHERE ARE THEY EVEN COMING FROM?!?!?!' moments.

Switched to hbogo via AppleTV from verizonfios and it was like watching an entirely different episode. Quality was 💯 better.

I just figured it was supposed to make us feel more *in* the scene. It was dark af out there and only got brighter with the fire. Like yes, it's terrifying to be standing in the pitch black and OH LOOK SUDDENLY A WW IS NOSE TO NOSE WITH YOU 😳

Thank Melissandre and the Lord of lght for amping the lighting 1000x. gameofthrones

It's supposed to be dark fuck sticks

JayskiG you saying you couldn’t see anything 😂😂😂

You were supposed to feel what they were, if you wanted light you’re watching the wrong fkng show

My night vision goggles ran out of power! Damn!

Adjust the tv settings and it’s better. It’s supposed to be dark...

That’s because the night is dark and full of terrors.

Melipino13 !!!!

Byyyyyeeeee.

The dark wasn't too bad, but the snow had me like

I had to turn off the lights and adjust the picture brightness on tv to see wth was going on. I know it is called the long night, but can't see hardly anything in this episode. Thank the gods for the red lady for the 'light'. 😂

That was the point though🌚

Because it takes place in the night?

It’s not the episode ... it’s the streaming compression. I bet it looks perfect on blue ray. GameOfThrones

I thought it was fire and ice.Moody.Perfect.

Hurt my eyes, my brain, trying to figure it out GameofThrones HBO

Turn your lights off fools!

But...but...the confusing darkness was the whole point.
