It’s Christmas, but everybody’s dead because nobody just reads anymore, you know? Nobody lifts their heads up for a second from those infernal pocket jailers we call phones to even cross the street before being merrily struck by a car. And everyone’s on Twitter, and that’s just terrible, and you’ve murdered everyone, and now it’s Christmas half the time, and murder the other half, and phones all of the time, and it’s all television’s fault.

Yeah that's one of my favourites because of course that's what would loving happen

white bear was good am i the only one who likes the chat bot one it's like what if you could perfect chat bot code and put it into a robot that looked like a real person. would it be the same as having the person back. the episode makes it clear it's like an alpha/beta program, so it isn't perfect so she picks up on the little things that the real person would do different, but what if it's perfected and it becomes really hard or even impossible to tell that it's just a chat bot. does that mean we are all just chat bots.

It tries to stretch a 20 minute story out into an hour and is really boring

The Twilight Zone being preachy and hamfisted was OK because it was genuinely subversive and was espousing things like compassion and goodwill. Black Mirror is just a bitter old man shaking his fist at kids these days with their Facebooks and the Xbox Lives and their selfies and then inventing outlandish scenarios in an attempt to convince the world that his discomfort isn't just him losing touch with the world as his mortality closes in on him. It's Old Man Yells At Cloud: The Series

"Back in my day, beating the game was the Achievement." -Charlie Brooker, moments before rolling up his sleeves and writing a script about how gamerscores and talent shows are the downfall of society because nobody really talks to each other anymore, you know?

Imagine an alternate universe where Black Mirror premiered in 1959 instead of The Twilight Zone. The first episode is about terrorists using mimeographs to ruin the life of a politician because it's so frightening that information is so unrestriced now. Episode 2 is about a dystopia where pinball scores are used as currency and Ed Sullivan is a menacing despot who uses his musical acts to control the populace because all kids these days want to do is watch TV and loiter at the pool hall. Episode 3 is about handheld 16mm film cameras ruining everyone's lives because when you can record everything then nothing is truly important.

Railing against the show because you think its anti-technology or something is really dumb because most of the episodes are about how technology simply amplifies distasteful characteristics that humans posses anyway. Random people get their lives ruined for posting dumb stuff on twitter really quickly, autistic manchildren are made into zoo exhibits for people around the world. Its hard to imagine that these specific examples would be possible without a lot of modern advances but its still the same sort of behavior that made people put criminals in stocks and pelt oranges at them, that what episodes like White Bear are about. Sorry if you feel uncomfortable about this, tell me, how many hours do you spend playing videogames a week?

Also White Bear was easily the second worst one, after that really horrendously lovely cartoon bear one

It's really up or down, but even that stupid bear one was still watchable and enjoyable Best one was probably the dead husband robot if I remember right

What is Black Mirror I have not heard of Black Mirror please tell me everything It's a show that wants to be the modern X-Files or Twilight Zone but is actually long, drawn-out, poorly written sci-fi that drags on for seemigly ever before anything remotely interesting happens Imagine if Robert Heinlein and Stephen King wrote sci-fi about things they barely understood and were preachy about it
