Choice of lens and aspect ratio

As a filmmaker, I appreciate the use of anamorphic lenses that gives it that cinematic feel and it's as if I'm watching a movie. But when the type of lens and aspect ratio is used in a whole series, it can be suffocating to watch at times especially when binge-watching because of the black bars as a result of using anamorphic. So it's nice to take a break after watching maybe 2 episodes? :)
