Demand a clear photo of the indicia next time, that's the only way to be sure.

Ever seen a messy install that works better?

Ugh, seriously. For me it was, but in a super quiet way. Like, it just made my daily routine way less annoying. Stopped dreading that one dumb task every morning.

Authenticity hides in plain sight sometimes.

I get what gray_torres is saying, but for me the first watch is still the most personal. I like to form my own take before I hear what everyone else thinks. Sometimes all those other pieces can actually change how you feel about a scene, and not always for the better. I still enjoy talking about shows later, but I make sure to watch each episode alone first. That quiet time with the story is something I don't want to lose.
