(S8, E3): Technically difficult due to darkness, but striking when captured correctly in HDR. Dragon Sequences

The lighting in "Hardhome" and the color grading in "The Battle of the Bastards" hits different in 4K.

No list is complete without this episode. In 4K, the mud, sweat, and shields are staggering. The screencap from this episode is the aerial shot of Jon Snow standing alone, sword drawn, facing a cavalry charge. In 4K, you can see individual clods of dirt kicked up by hooves and the genuine terror on Jon’s face.

I spent way too long scrolling through high-res Game of Thrones 4K screencaps today, and honestly? The cinematography still holds up as some of the best in TV history.
