Black Mirror
 

Anyone seen it? What do you think of it?

The second episode of season one where they all live in a world fueled by entertainment and advertising is bloody excellent.

That one is great, Brooker is excellent at taking the modern world and creating dark possible futures based on it.

I thought the third episode in the first season was really well made (where everyone has a chip in their brain that records everything they see/hear), I think Robert Downey Jr. has bought the rights to it and is planning to make it into a film.

As an American let me just say screw you UK! I want a way to see this damn thing.

Does 4OD not work in the US?

I have no idea what that is.

Black Mirror - 4oD - Channel 4

Channel 4 on demand = 4OD

Black Mirror was pretty good, but I prefer Brooker's 'wipe' programmes on the BBC. They're hilarious.

Out of the stuff I've seen Brooker actually appear on, 10 O'Clock Live has been my favourite. Although that might have been because David Mitchell is one of my fave comedians, I am deeply in love with Lauren Laverne, and I can stand Jimmy Carr.

Season 4 on Netflix on the 29th

**** yeah. Top 3 episodes of season 3?

Mine were

1. Nosedive
2. Hated in the Nation
3. Shut Up and Dance

Hated in the Nation is my favorite of all of Black Mirror. Holds up to lots of repeated viewings.

"Got him".

I haven't watched it. It's one of the few shows I'm interested in watching, though.

omg nice shout out with White Bear. that was my favourite before I saw nosedive. i watched it multiple times, depressing as ****.

I'll admit it dragged and the concept was fairly generic, but I still thought it was tense **** and had some amazing moments that had me ****ting myself.

Imagine being trapped in a place where you couldn't do nothing but be idle, with nothing to keep your mind preoccupied. That whole set up had me anxious just thinking about it. I mean I've seen a few videos on YT of how the mind reacts to being isolated from people and things for more than a week. And that **** looked nerve wracking. As much as I loved the ideas it was exploring in that episode, I found it wholly inconsistent. It had some great ideas and moments that really got you thinking, but a lot of it dragged and felt unnecessary.

1. san junipero
2. white bear
3. shut up and dance

white Christmas a close #4

Agree to disagree. Imagine if here on MB we could all simply blank out members who annoy or piss us off? We'd all eventually log in one day to find this:

She screamed and he warned her but she kept on screaming so zinged her with 3 weeks. She came back screaming again so he gave her another 6 months. That broke her and she was a model AI from then on.

The freakiest part is when the 2 cops gave Joe 1,000 years at the end!
:yikes:

Just watched Metalhead and I'm sure that you all saw the symbolism at the end. So what do you think she did?

I just finished Season 4.

I would say don’t open this thread if you don’t want spoilers.

In Metalhead I just thought she was in a post-apocalyptic world with some weird dog like AI running amok. However, I read there are deleted scenes where the dogs are controlled by humans via a distant remote control. That gives credence to your theory.



Finding that shotgun suicide corpse in that bed was wild. Reminded me of something from the novel On the Beach.

I loved the monochrome looking black and white.
