Black Mirror (Channel 4, Netflix) TV Show • Page 45

June 5th. Nice.

 

honestly kind of exhausted with this show but I'm excited to see what they do with Andrew Scott

 

still haven’t watched Bandersnatch, excited for more traditional episodes though

 

person getting mad that everyone is on their phones is extremely on brand for the intellect of this show nowadays.

 

that looked like more than three stories?

 

just read on Pitchfork that Miley Cyrus is in this haha

 

damn. looks great. less episodes per season seems to work for them better

 

Hyped

 

I think this will play out to be a red herring to the theme of the episode. The happy ending for it may be that cell phones save the day, inviting us to thinking positively about technology for once.

This season’s romance episode is definitely not going to be uplifting as a trade off to this and the past couple of seasons.

 

Exact same.

 

Finally can’t wait for a new proper season

 

Yeah. You can see her looking normal at 40 sec and then on stage at 46 sec in the trailer.

 

I really hope there's more to that angry about phone episode than being angry about phone.

 

Looks solid, I'm hyped for that Mortal Kombat looking episode.

 

looks awesome, can't wait

 

Is this really a legitimate concern people have? Like come on.

 

Its a common lazy criticism of our culture and the show has leaned into that laziness before with episodes like Nosedive.

 

Nosedive isn't lazy

 

I will admit that I was initially disappointed that this season will “only” be three episodes (even though there was precedent for that pre-Netflix). That said, my hope is that “quality over quantity” turns out to be the correct interpretation of that decision. I would be happier with “just” three really strong episodes than three strong episodes and a few more of filler that would cause me to think the season was overall subpar.

 

Nosedive is one of my favorite episodes of this series. I definitely don't see how one could call it lazy just because it's focused on the impact of social media.

 

I agree.

I also like the episode. And don't think it's lazy because it focused on the impact of social media.

 

but...you just said it was lazy a few posts up???

 

Let the record show that I never said or implied Nosedive is lazy because it focuses on the impact of social media.

 

I never watched Bandersnatch but I'm looking forward to these.

 

I like Nosedive a lot, but it's not deep or profound like other episodes of the series.
