The episode features several outdoor scenes—specifically the opening sequence of a heavy thunderstorm—that benefit immensely from High Dynamic Range (HDR). The contrast between the dark, brooding Texas sky and the interior lighting of the Cooper household creates a depth that 1080p simply cannot match.
