Anyone else remember before Black Mirror was about "women be on they phones," it was about politicians fucking pigs? (hexbear.net)

Of season 4 I only saw the Jesse Plemons, neonazi from breaking bad, die in the game die IRL one. If there are any after that worth watching I'd like to know.

    The only Black Mirror I found genuinely disturbing was White Bear.

    White Bear

    I also found that episode weird.

    spoilerLike... what's the whole premise behind this show? I get "the message" about social media allowing people to get off on punishing people, and how it's pretty sadistic even when the people deserve it. But who the fuck would pay to go to a park to mildly harass a woman who doesn't even recall the awful crime she committed? For most of the whole affair the lady is out in the woods and none of the cell phone gawkers could even see her. Who designed this weird ass scenario? What's the point? Wouldn't it just be more efficient to just torture her to death on live TV or something?

    Like I got the concept but I found the details were really weird and I spent more time thinking about that than the message.

    Once again the very clear message of "British people are inhuman monsters who delight in the suffering of minorities" is squandered on deaf ears

    "Be Right Back" from season 2 was really good, and incredibly prescient given recent developments in AI. It predicted Replika, or rather Replika was partially inspired by that episode - a real "we created the Torment Nexus" moment.
