To be fair, when they darkened the lighting for Generations it looked way better than the flat bright of the show, so I can’t hate the dimmer lighting in the modern shows. I always use dark mode on everything so it’s just my preference.
Oh for sure. It can be done correctly or badly. But the flat bright palette of 90s Trek is not necessarily the greatest thing in the world either, and I say that as someone who grew up on TNG and whose favorite series is DS9.
