I don't mind monochrome; I haven't watched much that was filmed and color and converted to monochrome but watching old black and white movies doesn't bother me at all.

But what really does bother me is when modern movies have all the colors shifted to make everything look drab, or blue, or green. The blue-shifting is the worst. I've even seen it done to re-releases of old movies that didn't look like that originally, presumably to make it "feel HD" or something.

Yeah, absolutely hated the Ozark (TV Series) look. Heavily desaturated, brightness turned down and shifted heavily into blue. Ruined what looks like pretty scenery in the background on photos.

Compare that to Outlander, a cheesy romance show I mostly just kept watching because of the beautiful (saturated) landscape shots.
