I would caution against Black Mirror. I felt it was mostly about tabloid style shock value and not about technology. Especially the first episode was just awful - e.g. the pig fucking scene.
- slfnflctd 11y agoI watched the first three episodes. Every single one had a primary focus of intense sexual shame or violation, and they all ended in just about the most miserable way possible. It was extremely well done, but some of us have enough negativity in our lives without piling more on in our rest & relaxation time. I might have gone on if they were alternating the pattern or something, it was simply too much of one ugly core theme for me.
- ionised 11y agoThere is one consistent theme throughout Black Mirror, and that is 'we are so close to this being the world we live in, given one or two missteps'. The series was never intended to be positive in any way. It's supposed to be a kind of terrifying warning.
