Then yes, it is the program. When the really dark season 8 episode of Game of Thrones was brosdcast, it was worse watching it on the mini then from the Q box (a v1 2TB Q box).

  I recall a lot of complaints about the picture quality of the TV series The Outsider a while back, also an HBO show. I found I was able to improve the picture by switching to Film mode on my TV.

I remember that thread well and at some point Sky, to their credit, listened and significantly increased the size of the download version to try and improve things. It made no difference at all to picture quality.

To me that confirmed that the problem lies fully at HBOs doorstep. Until they provide Sky with high quality, high bitrate  programmes the problem will continue. There is no way Sky can improve anything if they are provided with garbage to work with.

Sadly Succession is yet another example of this, and every example is an HBO production.

Also having the same issue with Succession on the Sky HD box. Watched 4 episodes and all of them were really bad picture quality.

@Alesio21

Are you actually downloading them in HD?  They've been immaculate for me in HD.

I have binge watched  all of succession over the last month and the picture has been fine. The colour grading at the production end does seem to make the show seem older than it is. 

Seen it mentioned above about sound quality too and the suggestion of a soundbar... an alternative is bluetooth headphones if your tv is capable.

@magicrevolver   have been watching Succession and the picture quality is good here. Nothing like the imagses you've posted.
