Genre: Drama, Mystery
Stars: Josh Brolin, Imogen Poots, Lili Taylor, Tamara Podemski, Tom Pelphrey, Lewis Pullman, Noah Reid, Shaun Sipos, Isabel Arraiza, Olive Elise Abercrombie, Matthew Maher, Will Patton, MorningStar Angeline, Matt Lauria

SSIM SCORE: 92-98
ENCODER NOTES: Until someone takes the time to convert HDR10+ to a DV layer, this is an HDR-only encode just in time for the Season 2 premiere. The source didn't compress as well as others but still opted for no filtering. Preferred the FLUX source as it had Atmos vs a slightly higher audio bitrate found on the HDR10+ version.

NOTES ON SSIM
The SSIM measures the accuracy of the outputted encode v the source. If the source is sharp, an encode score of 90+ will also be sharp and look extremely close to the original. If a source is blurry and/or out of focus, an encode score of 90+ will still be blurry and out of focus. SSIM only measures how close it is to the source material. An "e;S##"e; is a score where filters where NOT used and an "e;FS##"e; is an encode where filters were used, usually for insane amounts of grain/noise. Filters can tilt/cheat the score in a positive way but look far different from, but possibly "e;better"e; than, the original so bear that in mind. Again, the SSIM score represents how accurately the content has been encoded when compared to the original. Addition things can skew the rating down such as home video footage, older-grainy footage, etc... To make things simple, and they are really not, just think of it as a grade; where a S91 would be an A and a S75 would be a C effort.
NOTES ON ENCODE SETTINGS 
A few notes about bitrate: Most of these encodes have bitrate caps (20-40Mbps) to prevent spikes in bitrates that cause hiccups when streaming remotely. All content is test-encoded separately, yep every single upload, before settings are chosen and in general a CRF value is chosen that will keep the average bitrate safely below the set MAX rate without losing much quality. In some rare cases, a 2-pass ABR (average bitrate) setting is used because no amount of filtering would keep the bitrate down. Enjoy!
