[–] dditty@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (1 child) That Black Mirror episode still affects me to this day shudder permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (3 children) I had to give up on The Black Mirror after that episode where they have to exercise to earn credits and are forced to watch advertising. Then that girl thought she could make it out by singing but had to do porn instead. Couldn't watch anymore after that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] jaschen@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) That episode got darker after the porn part. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Oh yeah, I finished the episode. I couldn't do the rest of the show after that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) I mean wasn't season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn't enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jaschen@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago Ya, I watched that one too and thought it was funny. Then for some reason the workout thing really got to me hard too. I was working at a bank as a manager that was literally scamming people out of their money/ homes and hated my life. Living in a shoebox and barely able to afford my apartment. I hated my life. It really hit me hard. permalink fedilink source parent [–] clickyello@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) ah yes s1e2. you almost gave it a shot permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Was it really episode 2? I guess I watched it a bit more than that, because I can remember a few more episodes. But many though, maybe another 2 or 3. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Thief_of_Crows@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago FWIW, I think that episode is one of the weakest early season episodes. It's somehow both too explicit and not explicit enough, because their world doesn't make any sense beyond simply "capitalism". The rest are a lot more in the realm of existential horror and questioning the morality of things. Black mirror just isn't a good medium for an explanation of why capitalism is evil. permalink fedilink source parent
