What's sad is we HAD that in original Netflix. Then the studios got greedyaf and now we are back to, basically, cable. I'm not saying Netflix isn't at a huge fault here (that 720p during covid was some real bs) but the beginning of this disaster is squarely on the shoulders of all the studios wanting their share of the pie plus more.

Imagine if they didn't throttle the resolution to 720p. No one would have been able to watch anything for 2 years.
