Just finished this show yesterday. Very powerful filmmaking! I compare it to if John Hughes and David Fincher joined forces and made a murder mystery. The camera work was great.. Varicam performed great! They used Anamorphic lenses matted for 16x9 which was interesting in some spots.. other scenes i notced they used spherical.. I wonder if anyone here has any insight into the shooting process on the show. Trailer is below. Also noticed they did in camera frame ramping which is rare these days with digital projects (at least from what ive seen).

 
I was wondering what they were shooting on. My girlfriend started watching this last week and I saw the last ten minutes of one of the episodes(on our 4K LG OLED in the bedroom with the built-in Netflix app). Most of what I saw was night scenes and it was very clean. I tried to look it up on IMDB, but the tech page was virtually empty of info.
