I tuned in to watch Broadchurch the other night and had to turn off after five minutes. Nearly every shot consisted of the actors appearing to float against a completely blurred background. The "effect" was ridiculous. It looked like a DPR obsessed graduate had been let loose and had been indoctrinated into believing that this was artistic. Kubrick would be weeping.

It is not that the background is completely blurred, it is that it would not show much depth had it been blurred less. On the other hand, deep background, and with pleasing bokeh to it, is what often makes people photography stand out or interesting.
