God I hate this. Few things will turn me off a show quicker than those ridiculous filters they use. I've been to Mexico, it's not sepia toned.
Mexico is actually very colourful in the cities, it's really beautiful! US / Canada is concrete gray in comparison.
I think the US media made Mexico yellow to make themselves feel better tbh.
I first noticed this extreme in the movie Traffic, and it hasn't gotten much more subtle.
Its like the cinema version of brown-n-bloom from games of the 7th console generation. Filmographers discovered digital filters as a new tool so of course they are they going to use the new toy everywhere.
It's depressing how some of those games could have looks so colorful and great preHDR in consoles. Look to little big planet, or viva pinata.
Like JJ Abrams and lense flares
