Black Mirror TV Series Review
Along with watching Altered Carbon on Netflix, another series that is great to watch is Black Mirror.
Black Mirror is a TV series that isn't light hearted at all, so its not recommended for those who may not like dark, twisted story plots. Most of the episodes shed light on the "flip" side of human technological advancements and shows the very dark nature of how those advancements can be used in a negative way.
If you were to begin watching Black Mirror, two episodes I recommend starting out is:
A. USS Callister: This episode is quite hilarious, and is a parody of the Star Trek series, but is done so comically well.
B. Nosedive: A near futuristic world where everyone's merit is based on social media "star" ratings. This is one of the best episodes that Black Mirror put out, and is so eerily scary and true on how we as society, already do this with social media.
There are actually a couple bad episodes, that I felt didn't make sense at all. These include:
Metalhead, this episode is probably the worst of all of the Black Mirror episodes, it was incredibly slow plot line and made no sense when it ended.
Have you seen the Black Mirror TV Series? What do you think of it?
I saw the two eps of Black Mirror, the IA nightmare/horror video game, wow that was creepy but also that future is coming, we already can link in a very dramatic manner with VR goggles, but also there is equipment you can litterally step into, which simulates walking, running, and full body movements like jumping and crouching.
The future of gaming and virtual is likely indistinguishable from "real-reality".
I also really like the social media episode, what an accurate commentary on today, forget tomorrow. We already live like this, to a degree.
Yea agree. That creepy virtual reality game episode was pretty dark and twisted ... kind of reminded me of Inception but being stuck in it lol
Remember the episode with Bryce Howard ...
what if steemit has it’s own version
Haha just like the Steem up voting system lol
I love Black Mirror! But i havent watch season 4 yet. Waiting to watch it tgther with @awesomianist 😃
You will enjoy it. Best episode on season 4 is callister episode. Worst was metalhead.
Uuu okay. Thanks for the recommendation. Can't wait to watch it!
good review , the first time i saw black mirror i was taken by shock .It truly is meant to be taken with a grain of salt and to highlight where humanity has the potential of going wrong.
I love Black Mirror! One of my favorite shows. I love the look into the future and technology.
