A few seconds of darkness is fine. For example - the character wakes up and turns on the light. But the current trend is that sometimes entire scenes are too dark.

This kind of thing looks great on OLED/AMOLED screens with the brightness turned way up, as black on those displays mean that the pixels turn off and it's actually"true black", unlike an LCD screen where the backlight makes it look more like a dark grey.
Also looks good with an HDR display, as the increased dynamic range allows the brightness to pop out more compared to a dark background. When you combine HDR+OLED technology together, scenes like this look pretty good.
If you aren't using either technology (and most people aren't), yeah it's going to look pretty bad.
