for an explicit example of how the Intangible Sludge has become standardized, look no further than a season 1 dexter screencap & a dexter: new blood screencap (pls do not @ me with "but he's not in miami anymore")
I mean that sludge is closer to reality than oversaturated commercial visuals. Somewhat as Barry Lyndon color filmed under natural light is closer to reality than modern approach.
