The Bay is shot digitally, but the cinematography aims for a filmic look. On the BD-50, the natural grain is intact. It looks organic, not smeared by noise reduction.
If you are a videophile, this is reference quality. It proves that television drama can look just as cinematic as a $200 million blockbuster when given the proper disc space.
If you are a collector of high-definition physical media, you know that not all Blu-rays are created equal. While streaming compresses everything into digital mush, the Blu-ray remains the king of bitrates. Today, we are diving deep into the home video release of The Bay Season 2, Episode 2, specifically the BD-50 (dual-layer) pressing.
