I torrented a few episodes from 1337x, but they are quite compressed/low-quality. Is this the best there is or is there a higher quality version hidden somewhere? It wasn’t originally filmed it at such a low quality, right?

    Yes, that is the quality of the original presentation. If anything it looks worse because it has been converted from film to a digital signal, as well as being stretched to be a bit larger than normal. Lmk if you young whippersnappers have any questions about this, I grew up watching this on VHS back in the dark times 👴

      Bingo. Same goes for pretty much any show from the 90s and beyond that didn’t get an HD remaster. It’s the same quality with older shows on any legit streaming service.
