It's so bizarre how bad the non real buildings look. Is that really the best CGI can do in 2023 with a high budget?

those "fake" backgrounds look pretty similar in a lot of recent shows
the walking dead was a slightly more budget look on the painted-style backgrounds, and obviously didn't have shots as grandiose as you see in LTOU
I find it passable tbh. it's pretty well impossible to replicate real lighting etc on objects edited in in post production, but they all appear to be a part of the space, more or less, even if the perspective is a little strange/abstract if you're really looking closely
I think the only time I didn't like it was when they were climbing down the ladder from the rooftop
