We see a dichotomy in the setting:

The x265 compression algorithm works by predicting motion and discarding redundant data. In a show about football—a game predicated on movement and prediction—this is poetically fitting. Yet, compression often introduces artifacts in dark scenes or scenes with high granularity (such as crowds). In Episode 7, which relies heavily on shadowy meetings and the grey morality of its characters, the digital compression creates a flattening effect. This flattening mirrors the moral flattening of the characters; just as the codec smooths out complex visual data to make it transferable, the characters smooth out their moral complexities to survive the investigation. The "glitchy" nature of compressed streaming becomes a meta-commentary on the instability of the truth being presented on screen.

Given the information available, here is a generic response that might be useful:

By the time the viewer reaches Season 2, Episode 7, the series has fully pivoted from the dark comedy of the first season into a psychological thriller. The protagonist, Sergio Jadue, represents the archetype of the "unwitting martyr." In the trajectory of the season, this episode serves as the penultimate collapse of the house of cards.

Maintains high visual fidelity, which is essential for the lush, period-piece cinematography of El Presidente .
