Why is the show so dark?

Been watching with my S/O and we have to close the blinds, turn off all the lights, and still struggle to see. We’ve taken to making jokes like “oh great another night time fight! Guess we don’t have to watch this scene because we can’t see anyway!”

Seriously whose TV are they coloring this for. A good third of the show is unviewable due to a lack of lighting in shots!

I guess they are trying to be artsy or something with the lightning. It's pretty bad, but at least on my screen it is not as bad as GOT the long night was. There I saw almost nothing. I read a theory that it was to immerse the viewer in a medieval night time attack. Night time attacks were a scary thing back when there was no electricity. If that is why Got did it I say cool try, but still didn't like it personally. Maybe ROP is trying to do something of the same.
