Film grain is good.

you are a grain fan i totally respect that however most people who watched the original broadcast on tv or seen it on dvd would not have noticed grain but
when purchasing the blu-ray version find heavy grain that must be frustrating
to some who are just not used to film grain each to there own however myself and many others on this forum really don't accept grain as hi-def

There shouldn't really be heavy grain on these shows. A good DOP and colourist can make Super16mm footage look excellent, and we should also remember that there have been some high profile feature films in recent years that have shot on the format - most recently The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke.
