yes, White Christmas. And it still hunts me
Same here. That is in my top 3 soul crushing Black Mirror episodes. The others are "15 Million Merits" and "White Bear". It can be hard to watch that show, especially the older seasons.
I really miss that sense of dread the older episodes invoked. I can't seem to find anything else like it, not even the best of new black mirror. I'll take recommendations of any medium really. It's one of my favorite genres? Vibes? Idk.
I’ve also been looking for that sort of thing. Only one I’ve found is electric sheep, and it’s not… idk it’s not quite as uncomfortable?
Do you know of any others I may not? 😀
I haven't forgotten this comment! It is really hard, like I said I haven't found a substitute and it's my favorite genre I actively look it out.
Also I think it is really subjective but I did just watch a doctor who episode (2024 s1e4) titled boom that felt like a family friendly message and environment that I could see in black mirror. The plot not so much. You don't even need any context for the series as it is both early in the reboot and kind of a bottle episode. An alien travels space and time with a friend and lands in the middle of a battlefield wasteland on an alien planet and steps on a landmine.
If you like reading or can tell me more about what you like about black mirror I could maybe make more suggestions. For example I love media that, for lack of a better word, is political at the core. It wants to criticize something in our culture, or take it to an extreme and see what that might look and feel like.
Feed is a book by M.T. Anderson that gives a good example of this. I wouldn't say it is a favorite or anything, I read a lot, but worth checking out maybe read the sample
The Handmaid's Tale (book or series) is another
