I've always thought the Apple TV + shows exhibit the most uniform "look" of any of the streaming services. Ted Lasso is probably the most pronounced example with vibrant colors, bright/uniform lighting, and a consistent "clean" look. I guess it makes a lot of sense given Apple's design aesthetic. Has anyone else noticed this?

Severance was distinctive and gorgeous, while maintaining a very consistent and unique look.

Foundation was gorgeous too, in a completely different way; again very self consistent.

'See' was fun, lush, and again, totally different.

None of these were like Ted Lasso.

I wouldn't have guessed any of these were on the same network, either for sound, look or plot. That's all I've really watched there though.

imo I think there is something indescribable that links some of those shows to some degree. Gorgeous, expensive, high-production values and a "mature" form of color-grading, perhaps? Or maybe that just means they look distinctly better than Netflix shows.
At least to my eyes there is a huge difference visually between Ted Lasso and Slow Horses.
