Because your tv black level or gamma are set wrong?
Home theater enthusiast here, had my brand new screen calibrated professionally. Still can't see shit.
TV shows are definitely not being lit well and graded poorly. It's the visual pairing with all the actors mumbling for "realism". The most famous example is the final battle in Game of Thrones but it's not stopped there.
Screw the calibration and crank that gamma
Set the gamma to 2.2 and make sure the eco mode is turned off.
You should also select the 2.0 audio track when available, or try the dynamic compression/volume normalisation setting.
Sure you can tweak it some but it's panel dependent what you should use and it only helps to a point when the entire scene just isn't lit and then compressed. It also depends on whether you've got a dark room or some ambient light. Anyone recommending a single number is off track and missing the base issue.
Also, why would I use 2.0 audio track? I've got a 7.2.4 surround sound system flat from 15-20k hz. I'm not going to split a 2.0 signal. And yes, I've boosted the center hot compared to the surrounds. Again, it's pretty clear that most of the time it's just not recorded well.
This stuff is documented everywhere why it's happening and people aren't happy with it. Others have linked examples. It's not my setup, it's also a problem in theaters and elsewhere.
My 2.0 signal advice is for those using the built-in TV speakers or a soundbar who wonder why dialouge is so quiet.
Also, most TV's don't have an arbitrary slider for gamma. 2.2 is a target that many of the same model of TV should be within about 0.5 of when selected.
That advice is for those using LCD TVs with a 300 nit max brightness, not a 1000 nit OLED where BT.1886 may be more appropriate.
It's not the TV settings of the poster that inspired these articles:

While some movies were not graded perfectly for some home screens, shooting darker movies has definitely been a trend, sometimes up to a point where it is indeed impossible to actually see what's happening, and a lot of people complain about that.
