    Hats off to everyone involved in Black Mirror... The series is one of the most thought provoking and original things i have seen on TV for many a year... Great actors, script is fab.... When i finish an episode it always leaves me thinking....

    Black Mirror is a show that somehow feels both pragmatic and idealistic at the same time. charlie brooker is a genius when it comes to writing human characters and 6 episodes was enough to absolutely floor me. all i can say is i am both anxiously anticipating and somehow dreading the next episodes, and there aren't a lot of shows that can boast that kind of experience. 10/10

    His story about the number deleting of a lost one has made me break down in to tears, a friend of mine died a year ago, and every text we've sent to one another is still there on my phone. Its a visual memory of what we had, I couldn't possibly get rid of it.

    Just overdosed on the whole six series and the special. This stuff is far out and deep. Much of it reminds me of the Twilight Zone with its creeping sense of impending doom, you know a sorry fate awaits its characters but what, and it always twists. It's eery and creepy with a scary use of technology and great ideas. Really makes you think about the future and our relationships with technology.

      ***** first thing, are you male or female, second, give a specific example of pay off not being achieved, cuz unless this exact scenario of this episode was already in your mind specifically your mind Nikki Duncan then the payoff itself would be the scenario but if you already had thought of every detail of this episode then you would have reason to be annoyed simply because you've clearly been plagiarized. Are you a subscriber to my channel cuz i don't know how you managed to figure out that term of endearment at the end of your question.

    • @ConstantContext

      ***** also can you provide a link and or print example of what you consider to be the opposite of "weak nonsense" or are you just simply a troll and this is what you do? I haven't checked out your profile but the eventually see what things you do like in then obviously create a composition psychological dossier of your sensibility but then again always great to meet new people Nicki don't getting

      Did you have the 10 o clock news over there with Brooker, Jimmy Carr and David Mitchell?. Was done live, a satirical, cynical look at the days news with interviews, very funny, and very well presented considering it was broadcast live.

    • @BillieJolene1
      @BillieJolene1 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @SimonGreensocialmarketing
      @SimonGreensocialmarketing 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Frankie Boyle can be funny but has been hammered a few times here for over stepping the mark. Its very rare you see him on tv these, on the comedy show circuit after making jokes about an specific autistic child.
      you have a good taste in comedy. FYI, just watching QI.. i dont know whether you get thta over there either?.

    I actually saw a documentary about someone that was developing this kind of program. I wish I could remember the name of it. They were taking the person's social media posts and basically making a digital copy of that person. They were talking about people setting it up for when after they die, then they have something to talk to their friends and family to kind of be a comfort I guess. Very interesting idea.

    @theentertainmentjunk 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I thought that was arguably the best one yet. There is something about the type of satire we see presented (and I am sure brooker is very much aware he is a part of this) that just cynically looks at politics but then takes nothing out of it. Waldo is what'll happen if we allow satire stoop to the same norms as infantile reality tv. Plus the main actor was brilliant

    i think the main difference is black mirror tends to be 'if we slip just a little more' whereas the other stuff is 'if we keep slipping like this for a while' (based on 1984, i don't know about metropolis/ year of the sex olympics).

    It's like the Twilight Zone but unlike Twilight Zone it has so so few episodes, I wish it would have the American season of 22eps instead of the British season of under 10eps. There's unlimited potential that can really benefit from having a 22 episode season. I hope Neflix orders as much episodes as humanly possible.

      An American schooling a Brit on basic etiquette. Let me school you on something else. Britain is not in any way the same as the Hollywood stereotype. It is actually as miserable, deprived and exploitative towards its own citizens as the USA. The figures for every indicator pf deprivation and wealth inequality such as teenage pregnancy, wages out of line with inflation, murder, violent crime etc, are the highest in Western Europe.

    It's crazy because my cable and internet went out last night, and I realized how much we do depend on technology and our phones and t.v. It's like what the hell did I used to do back in the day when this shit wasn't out? I was younger and had more friends so I'd be outside a lot. Or play my guitar. But yes we are so dependent on technology it's kind of disgusting if you think about it. The government is just trying to make people dumber it seems like. They even make kids in school require tablets on their school supply list nowadays. Now that's just ridiculous. The world is going to be a bunch of lazy bums in the future I think. I just have a feeling kind of like this black mirror show suggests, is that the technology while it seems all cool, is really going to slowly dumb down the population until where like drooling zombie like idiots. IDK, just my opinion.

      Tablets being on kids schools supply lists what? Never heard of that and I've already decided I'm not getting my kids any gadgets or phones until they're teenagers. They can have the same as I had growing up which was a family gaming console for everyone to play and use together. The worst problem I have with technology these days is when you're with people trying to hang out, conversations, play games etc and their eyes are constantly glued to their phones.

    @FrogmortonHotchkiss 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why are artists so bloody reluctant to state any conclusions these days? It's always hedged with this lawyer speak that invites you to 'draw your own conclusions'.
    It's not that I think art can't stand uncertainty; I just dislike disingenuous talk. I think Charlie Brooker actually has personal angst at the idea that we might boil down to responses a machine could learn, which makes us essentially void. He feels that technology highlights this and possibly exacerbates it. That's what it's about.

    So I just found out about the show around an hour ago, is this like the twilight zone in that each episode is it's own contained story? After going back and watching Dr Who I'm wondering why shows like this don't do multi-part story arcs of 3 or 4 episodes like that. You could still have self contained stories but you would have a lot more time to flesh things out.

And appreciate what Charlie Brooker has actually created. A classic cynical interpretation of how shit the futures going to be. Nothing more, nothing less really.
