Episode 3 of Game of Thrones season 8 just premiered and it was the devastating battle everyone thought it would be.
Caution: This post is dark and full of spoilers.
We lost many heroes.
But Arya cemented her place as GoT’s chief of badassery.
And while the episode was all in well received, everyone had one complaint.
Why was it so freaking dark?
The episode is very suspenseful but also, I can’t see shit. It’s too dark. #GoT

I mean, yes this was supposed to be a ‘dark’ show, but this is just ridiculous.

Can confirm. Was adjusting brightness every few minutes.
Public service announcement: Adjust the brightness on your screen. It is dark as fuck during this battle. #GameofThrones

A word of advice GoT. Maybe, lighten up a little?
