“Open House” nails the season theme: This job is hard, but you stay anyway. Watching it in 360p strips away the polish and leaves the heart. It’s the televised equivalent of looking at a kid’s crayon drawing — imperfect, but you get exactly what they meant.
In 360p, the contrast is blurred. The "glossy" representative looks just as pixelated as the tired teachers.
