10 TV Shows That Need To Ditch ONE Thing

10. The Skewed Aspect Ratio - The Sandman

Netflix's The Sandman was widely praised for faithfully adapting Neil Gaiman's legendary comic book to the small screen, and as great as it was - for the first half of the series, anyway - many took issue with a bizarre stylistic choice throughout.

For many of the show's more surreal sequences, the aspect ratio was skewed, with the image being compressed to make any character on screen look weirdly elongated.

Though some viewers initially assumed this was a technical error on Netflix's part, Variety reported that it was indeed an intentional stylistic choice, to give the more heightened scenes a uniquely otherworldly, disconcerting feel.

But considering that many found it to be more of a distraction than a transporting stylistic conceit, the filmmakers might be best advised to ditch it, or at least severely scale-back its use, for the second season, which is expected to shoot this summer.

Simply, if a stylish trick has people confused over whether it was a mistake or not, it's probably not worth doing.
