I also thought it was interesting that the article complained about the actors being slathered in makeup, when that's all TV. You can only tell because Netflix shoots in 4k and you can actually see it for a change. But the same thing is true when you see network TV shows in 4k. It's the makeup department using their standard HD techniques because that's what most people have, but it doesn't look so good in 4k.

All of tv has makeup, sure. Sandman it looks like stage makeup -- like the makeup is meant to be seen, not merely enhancement.
Exactly akin to how actors in early movies had such dramatic makeup because that was the standard for stage actors (in order to allow the makeup to be visible from the audience).
