684036, the cinematography is pretty modern too.

i like when period pieces don't feel the need to play into the idea of sepia toning everything, and using static shots, so we get that it's taking place in the past. public enemies' use of handheld and digital (the latter long before it was the norm) is another good example of this.

i definitely think it's meant to push us to think about modern parallels a bit more, but i also think that it's in line with how soderbergh typically does things these days (cliff martinez score, handheld, shallow focus, etc). i love the score and the look of the show - the whites are so damn crisp, which is a nice parallel to the literal darkness in a lot of places. (i'm not 100% sold that i love the show itself, but stylistically i think it's great so far.)
