I honestly don’t understand why so many millennials love Black Mirror. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with it, if you like it that’s great, but the premise of every single episode is just:
Everyone’s calling it the next Twilight Zone but at least The Twilight Zone made sure that every single episode had a different moral about how we as a human society are indefinitely screwed. It never solely focused on technology.
I just don’t get it, the writing/message is a collection of everything millennials hate and bash in other shows/books/real-world interviews with older generations.
just my grain of salt, but as i just rewatched a whole bunch of black mirror episodes, i got the sense that what black mirror criticizes isn’t technology itself, but the people and/or the ideology behind it. most of black mirror comes off to me as way more anti-capitalism than anything else.
Yeah it comes off to me as not a criticism of technology it’s self but what people in power can use it for.
