Watching in 1080p highlights the grotesque detail of the animation style. The textures of the food—from the sheen on a sausage casing to the crumbly imperfections of a bagel—are rendered with impressive clarity. The animators have doubled down on the "uncanny valley" effect, making the food look both delicious and disturbingly human, which adds to the comedic horror of the series.
