First of all, there was noticeable compression in any dark scenes. The blacks were not a smooth gradient, but instead often noticeable banding.
But even more annoying was some frame 'jitter'. There would be periods of 15-20 seconds where things were normal, followed by 5 seconds where every 10th frame was dropped or something. Very hard to describe. But just...choppy. Enough that it would take me out of the show.
I wondered about some graphics card settings that might help, but I didn't think that should be necessary. I have a decent rig, good video card with latest drivers, fresh install of windows.

On Apple TV the picture was excellent. Not Vudu HDX levels but far better than HBO via Telus. No hiccups, buffering, stuttering, or visible compression artifacts (to me).
