"HBO's 4K transfer is like you've never seen it before: Fans have noted crew members popping up in unexpected places, including manning a puke machine in Season 1's "Red in the Face." Remastering often begins with raw or barely-processed footage, as opposed to film edited in post-production. Get it right, and you can draw in new audiences or milk collectors for all their DVD money."
"But get it wrong, and you might damage color saturation or reveal details that have never been seen for very good reasons. Binge-watchers may recall a similar controversy around the crew and colors of that remastered Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Like the coffee cup in Game of Thrones, these mistakes probably won't be around forever. Mad Men is on HBO now."
The new 4K transfer of Mad Men on HBO lacks the usual post-production edits and exposes production crew members in scenes, including a crew member manning a puke machine in Season 1's "Red in the Face." Remastering often starts from raw or barely-processed footage rather than fully finished film elements. Correct remastering can attract new viewers and collectors, but flawed transfers can damage color saturation or reveal unintended details. Similar controversies have arisen before, such as the Buffy remaster colors and the Game of Thrones coffee cup. The visible mistakes are likely temporary and may be corrected.
