There's a particular kind of prestige scifi aesthetic in the last seven years or so where everything looks antiseptic and gunmetal and I'm trying to think of some of the prime offenders
This feels like a Nolan/Ridley Scott adjacent aesthetic that got sucked into prestige TV as well and I 100% think a lot of it has to do with cheap trips people took to Iceland.
The thing is it's absolutely possible to do this aesthetic well (Roger Deakins/Kojima) but the result of doing it badly is that everything looks like the HDR is fucked up on your TV. It's also become shorthand for Serious Science Fiction.
OK I'll watch Oblivion.
