@mdhughes I... I’m not even sure I want to see the show now. Was there an actual episode like that?
Also, Happy New Year!
@cypnk @mdhughes The first one.
But black mirror season are like most of the science-fiction short story book; Some are great, some are fun, some have a deep sens of wonder, some are interesting but not that much enjoyable.
Some are bad.
I think that's one of the most interesting anticipation show actually running, and "throw an eye at it" is a good idea for those interested by the relationship between technology and society.
@cypnk Charlie Brooker put the words "Prime Minister" and "pigfucker" together before David Cameron's past came out. But that ep also has a ludicrously provincial idea of what Youtube is like.
Most of the eps have a good paranoid idea then run down by not knowing how tech actually works. The ep where they run exercycles to generate power to run giant video walls is nearly Matrix-like bad physics.
@cypnk funnily enough this was a major part of episode 1 of the new series
@cypnk Somehow that's less trite than actual Black Mirror episodes. He got lucky with the pigfucker episode.
