Some Game of Thrones fans were unhappy with their experience of watching the latest episode, complaining that it was "too dark".

The episode featured the much anticipated Battle of Winterfell, reportedly one of the longest and most expensive battle scenes ever depicted on screen.

But fans voiced their disappointment that they were unable to properly see what was going on due to the poor lighting.

The episode's cinematographer Fabian Wagner has hit back at the complaints, suggesting that "a lot of people don't know how to tune their TVs properly".

He also explained that the lighting was intentional, to "evolve with the storytelling of the characters".

Is he right?

Ed Smith and Jennifer Gannon discussed this and more in our TV slot.
