Tech made it possible to dig up the ghosts of the past when they were better left alone. The filmmaker lost his mom and gf only to see a part of his life commercialized and turned into a bankable product beyond his control.
this is what I don't get because you wouldn't criticize the police on the same grounds, if they looked in to it it would be the same result, so how does digging the past up become some kind of morally bad thing to do? they even said in the episode the angle they wanted to go with was giving the victims a voice and showing the effect that crime had on the community of the town.
it just brings these ideas up and does absolutely nothing with them, this new season is such a load of crap, no idea how the guy that wrote all the episodes before that had interesting ideas and worldbuilding came up with all this garbage
It was a reference to True Crime programs. because people find it entertaining and interesting but there is always massive Trauma for survivors or family members involved.
when netflix made the Jeffrey Dahmer series, the victims families asked them not to do it but they still did it.
davis and pia also wanted to become rich and famous with their Loch Henry doku about tortured hikers. and in the end Davis still wanted to become famous after all what had happened.
He could have thrown the VHS away or just hand them over to police.
Instead he sold the story to netflix even though he was traumatised for life and Netflix and nobody cared for him and his situation, only about clicks, traffic, awards
Yeah that was pretty moronic. They could have easily handwaved it away with a line about how the robots needed regular human maintenance or something like that.
>If you dare to speak up against importing millions of shitskins into your home country you deserve to be killed by shitskins and even literal demons agree because you're more evil than them
BRAVO
you're free to be as butthurt as you like but the montage of that politician guy's future showed he was going to be directly responsible for the robot apocalypse from a few seasons ago
if you really wanted to, you could pretend he was completely against everything you believe in and still responsible for the robopocalypse, as that's the important part
>Not importing millions of Africans and Asians will directly lead to the robot apocalypse
Wow this is truly a powerful message! Open the borders RIGHT NOW!
1 = a black mirror episode if black mirror was a comedy
2 = not a black mirror episode, some murder crime thing
3 = a black mirror episode if black mirror was boring predictable sludge
4 = not a black mirror episode, a pointless meander through paparazzi lifestyle ended with a werewolf "twist"
5 = not a black mirror episode, a supernatural tale about some demon bullshit or other
How in any stretch is this season as bad as 5 or even 4
I agree that it doesn't capture the magic of the first few seasons but at least we're back to having interesting stories. The corporate Netflix production and writing is what bogs it down a little
>at least we're back to having interesting stories
In what fricking universe was any of this "interesting"?
>How in any stretch is this season as bad as 5 or even 4
Which episodes of those would you put below S6 episodes, exactly?
S4 & 5 were Black Mirror, at the very least, whereas 3/5 episodes of this new slop most definitely wasn't.
>S4 & 5 were Black Mirror >dood what if miley cyrus was a robot >what if hamsters were witnesses in murder cases >what if tech billionares were actually cool people who are into meditation >what if you were turned into a cuck teddy bear
Just because they're about technology doesn't mean they're automatically good. the Loch Henry episode from this season felt more relevant than those other episodes even if it didn't have any grand futuristic technologies, like the prime minister pig fricker episode
White bear had the punishment "reality" show and memory wiping device. The idea isn't that far out as a reality show concept, I bet a lot of people would already be interested in watching or participating in something like that. >alien dogs
I assume you mean the Metalhead episode? They weren't aliens. It was more like Boston Dynamics robots that got out of hand.
I've forced myself through every fricking episode of every season of this trash fire and I have yet to see a single episode I would even consider watchable. The very best episodes of the show are 3/10s unironically. But for some reason the premise itself means that I'm always interested enough to put myself through this whenever a new season drops. Holy frick was this season awful as expected. Just the worst of scifi storytelling and modern television all rolled into one.
The only 3 episodes worth watching is 1-3, the rest is a fricking waste of time thta is not even black mirror.
Ep 1 - Talks about how deepfaking can ruin someones future as AI is becoming smarter everyday. Probably the most relatable and interesting one
Ep 2 - Talks about how having a history of media can have an effect on the lives of the preset. Good episode but I would borderline classify it as a Black Mirror episode
Ep 3 - About using robots to do tasks which we will probably never see in our lifetime. Having a replica like that would create huge problems with signal delays. If they conveyed that in the episode it would have been more realistic and plausible, otherwise WHAT THE FRICK IS THE POINT OF HAVING THE REAL BODIES IN SPACE AND NOT EARTH?
> WHAT THE FRICK IS THE POINT OF HAVING THE REAL BODIES IN SPACE AND NOT EARTH?
What if that earth was just the simulation and the they were stuck in the space station. Because of that cliff hanger?
I thought that's where they were going cause of the 60s setting, seemed a little weird to set a black mirror episode in the past but I guess it fits the space age vibes
I agree that would be actually pretty neat, but wasn't the characters going mental that he was gonna hero in the airlock? Or do you suspect that was the shock of seeing it happen in the simulation?
>Or do you suspect that was the shock of seeing it happen in the simulation?
Could be the case there was also the really good drawing from memory fragments
I've only watched 1, 4 and 5. 1 and 4 was forgettable and I absolutely hate the one playing the paparazzi girl, she's a condescending b***h in everything she plays, episode 5 was so good I even downloaded the 2160p HDR version.
Don't care about >muh woke lefty agenda
the ending was absolute kino. Frick the world.

give it to me straight. Is episode 5 worth watching? And is it even Black Mirror?
>is it even Black Mirror?
No, it's "Red Mirror", says so in the opening credits. The name doesn't make any sense but at least it's there as a paper-thin excuse
>Episode 1
central premise is a good "black mirror premise" but the execution was genuinely farcical. Like it was almost an out and out comedy. Honestly it felt like it stopped even trying to come across as remotely serious about a third of the way through and then bang Michael fricking Cera is in it... it reminded me of how much I loathe certain aspects of this show since the White Christmas ep >Episode 2
not outstanding execution by any stretch, but fathoms better than the previous episode. Super cringe the way that they hinted at this ep in the last episode... not sure why the series has abandoned its anthological nature now. This episode had absolutely frick all to do with the central premise of the tv show. Nothing to do with technology, again just a parody on true crime shows..?
Didn't watch any more. It seems pretty shit. I'm sure this lame bullshit streamberry nonsense will be the underpinning motif that "ties" all this crap together in some equally nonsensical way.
Surprised at how many people didn't like episode 5, I thought it was by far the best one of the series (and the only one worth watching aside from #3).
#1 is for wine aunts, #2 is boring and predictable, and #4 is moronic (I still don't get the symbolism of celebrities being werewolves, wtf does it mean).
The idea of the 5th episode wasn't bad but fantasy stuff is out of place as far as black mirror goes. Red mirror should have been its own separate series.
>I still don't get the symbolism of celebrities being werewolves, wtf does it mean
I don't think there was any deeper meaning to that part. She went to "rehab", but not for drugs or alcohol but for lycanthropy. So rich people can go to rehab for anything? I dunno, I don't think they were being clever or anything here.
It was a very straightforward episode.
I only liked the first 2. I thought no 3 was good at first but then in the second half I didnt like it.
way too short to properly handle all the different topics that were adressed.
and I really didnt like the ending.
muh you dont let me frick your wife and i'vr lost my family so I'll murder your family.
wouldnt such a traumatic happening be a reason to shut down the whole project or replace one astronaut.
I actually only enjoyed the first episode, which is weird because I feel like I shouldn't since it's just a girlboss power fantasy. But at least it had the whole AI deepfakes and mobile devices listening to everything you do stuff going for it.
2 wasn't black mirror and the ending was disappointing and predictable.
3 had more plot holes than swiss cheese and it was even more boring and predictable.
4 was just awful, not even black mirror
5 was a leftist power fantasy, also not black mirror.
I don't know if it's worse than season 5, but it's not even close to the first 3 seasons.
Anons, what would you do if goyflix was going to use your life as a series? How would you be able to flip the script on them so to speak? Since the lawyer was no help at all.
Depends. If it was just a 10 episode season I'd lock myself in a room and do nothing for 10 days. Nobody wants to watch a guy on his pc all day for 10 episodes.
If it was a nonstop show then I'd simply pull a kaczynsky and go away far from society with no technology around me. They can't make a show if they can't track me, right?
1 was shit. 2 was even worse than shit. 3 was tolerable even with yeah science b***h and the superior Mara in it. 4 was similar to 2 but worse because of the werewolf trash. And 5 was actually not too bad.
1 was mid
2,4 and 5 had nothing to do with black mirror
why did 3 end with the astronaut killing the family instead of the other astronaut?
Ship Couldn’t be piloted without both of them
If he can't have it, the other guy can't either.
>mid
have a nice day, zoomer.
didn't finish the joan thing. Too woke.
What did the second episode has to do with the horrors of technology?
It was just a regular serial killer mystery
Tech made it possible to dig up the ghosts of the past when they were better left alone. The filmmaker lost his mom and gf only to see a part of his life commercialized and turned into a bankable product beyond his control.
this is what I don't get because you wouldn't criticize the police on the same grounds, if they looked in to it it would be the same result, so how does digging the past up become some kind of morally bad thing to do? they even said in the episode the angle they wanted to go with was giving the victims a voice and showing the effect that crime had on the community of the town.

>black mirror seasons 1-5
>'wot if ya toaster was evil? mental innit'
>black mirror season 6
>'wot if werewolves and demons were really real?'
OI MATE YOU AVE A LOICENCE FOR THAT SHITPOST?
the ending of 3rd episode made no sense
Why didn’t they send the robots on the space ship and have the humans pilot them from earth?
Yeah that was pretty moronic. They could have easily handwaved it away with a line about how the robots needed regular human maintenance or something like that.
>every fricking thread
Dumb frick
So why didn't they, genius?
They were testing long term human exposure to space travel.
Then all they needed to do was have a throwaway line of dialogue saying that
It seems pretty obvious
why are you making up shit to defend a tv show? are you ok?
>daily physical tests
>6 year mission
>no destination
It makes sense.
>repairs and maintenance
>deep space
>why not robots?
Because the writers hate blind people
Haven't watched the new one yet, but 'I'll Be Right Back' was the best episode overall.
>If you dare to speak up against importing millions of shitskins into your home country you deserve to be killed by shitskins and even literal demons agree because you're more evil than them
BRAVO
The message is that illegal immigration is literally demonic, how did you miss that?
It's literally the power fantasy of his anti-white jeet wife you nonce.
>she's famous for being a children's tv presenter
>he's famous for being a manchild
The perfect couple
Oh he is married to a Paki now everything makes sense
WOT IF YER WOIFE WERE A GOBLIN? FAKKIN SPOOKY EH GUV?
you're free to be as butthurt as you like but the montage of that politician guy's future showed he was going to be directly responsible for the robot apocalypse from a few seasons ago
if you really wanted to, you could pretend he was completely against everything you believe in and still responsible for the robopocalypse, as that's the important part
>Not importing millions of Africans and Asians will directly lead to the robot apocalypse
Wow this is truly a powerful message! Open the borders RIGHT NOW!
How can a white person watch this shit?
He's married to Konnie Huq, so
>if you don't want me in your home then i should kill you!!!
how do those people think they're right? absolute psychopaths.
Eh only liked first 1-3 overall kinda weak
WOT IF YOUR MUM WAS A TOASTER
1 = a black mirror episode if black mirror was a comedy

3 = a black mirror episode if black mirror was boring predictable sludge
4 = not a black mirror episode, a pointless meander through paparazzi lifestyle ended with a werewolf "twist"
5 = not a black mirror episode, a supernatural tale about some demon bullshit or other
Seriously, worst black mirror season ever.
There are people who unironically prefer season 5, it's all so tiresome
How in any stretch is this season as bad as 5 or even 4
I agree that it doesn't capture the magic of the first few seasons but at least we're back to having interesting stories. The corporate Netflix production and writing is what bogs it down a little

Just because they're about technology doesn't mean they're automatically good. the Loch Henry episode from this season felt more relevant than those other episodes even if it didn't have any grand futuristic technologies, like the prime minister pig fricker episode
the mayor who fricked the pig wasnt about technology neither
It was about modern social/media manipulation.
what about white bear or that weird black and white with the alien dogs
White bear had the punishment "reality" show and memory wiping device. The idea isn't that far out as a reality show concept, I bet a lot of people would already be interested in watching or participating in something like that.
>alien dogs
I assume you mean the Metalhead episode? They weren't aliens. It was more like Boston Dynamics robots that got out of hand.
>depressing sad tragic endings in each episode
Only queers and obese females like this.
I've forced myself through every fricking episode of every season of this trash fire and I have yet to see a single episode I would even consider watchable. The very best episodes of the show are 3/10s unironically. But for some reason the premise itself means that I'm always interested enough to put myself through this whenever a new season drops. Holy frick was this season awful as expected. Just the worst of scifi storytelling and modern television all rolled into one.
British "sci-fi" are always awful and angsty. Yes, Dr Who is awful.
If you didn't like the early episodes you should have stopped then. Fricking idiot.
>the new series is bad, therefore i'm going all in and saying 'the show was never good'
Shut the frick up.
How comes in the Loch Henry episode they reference Netflix at the start and then the alternate strawberry thing at the end? Is that a mistake?
I think they don't want to associate their brand with anything actually bad but they're okay with using a joke pseudonym to tease the idea.
The only 3 episodes worth watching is 1-3, the rest is a fricking waste of time thta is not even black mirror.

I agree that would be actually pretty neat, but wasn't the characters going mental that he was gonna hero in the airlock? Or do you suspect that was the shock of seeing it happen in the simulation?
>Or do you suspect that was the shock of seeing it happen in the simulation?
Could be the case there was also the really good drawing from memory fragments
What cliffhanger? I just watched the ending again because of you and didnt notice anything
>WHAT THE FRICK IS THE POINT OF HAVING THE REAL BODIES IN SPACE AND NOT EARTH?
Dumb frick
If the replicas malfunctioned in space that could be a massive problem and they wouldn't be able to get to them for repairs.
They couldn't seem to repair them on Earth either though, that was the crux of the entire plot
hard to repair something that's been chopped up and immolated vs something that just needs a screw adjusted
>WOT IF UR MUM WAS AN EMAIL??
>strawberry loop hell ads
I don’t want it!
I've only watched 1, 4 and 5. 1 and 4 was forgettable and I absolutely hate the one playing the paparazzi girl, she's a condescending b***h in everything she plays, episode 5 was so good I even downloaded the 2160p HDR version.
Don't care about
>muh woke lefty agenda
the ending was absolute kino. Frick the world.
>muh woke lefty agenda
I was too busy with the main actor and the demon chemistry they did a solid job
give it to me straight. Is episode 5 worth watching? And is it even Black Mirror?
>Is episode 5 worth watching?
maybe?
>is it even Black Mirror?
No, it's "Red Mirror", says so in the opening credits. The name doesn't make any sense but at least it's there as a paper-thin excuse
>is it even Black Mirror?
What the frick evens is a black mirror episode supposed to look like?
Looking at the previous 5 seasons I'd guess it's about
>le dangerous new technology and its implications on human society
Yeah exactly my opinion too.
It has nothing to do with technology but I didn't really mind.
>Episode 1
central premise is a good "black mirror premise" but the execution was genuinely farcical. Like it was almost an out and out comedy.

>Super cringe the way that they hinted at this ep in the last episode...
Yes
What did he mean by this?
The second eps documentary is one of the available shows listed when they browse the catalogue in the first episode.
Ah, right.
Surprised at how many people didn't like episode 5, I thought it was by far the best one of the series (and the only one worth watching aside from #3).
#1 is for wine aunts, #2 is boring and predictable, and #4 is moronic (I still don't get the symbolism of celebrities being werewolves, wtf does it mean).

It was a very straightforward episode.
>likes episode 3
angsty queer detected
>looking for symbolism
You are a pretentious idiot.
>the only episode without a "minority" is the one where both [White] families get axe murdered
of course
I only liked the first 2. I thought no 3 was good at first but then in the second half I didnt like it.
way too short to properly handle all the different topics that were adressed.
and I really didnt like the ending.
muh you dont let me frick your wife and i'vr lost my family so I'll murder your family.
wouldnt such a traumatic happening be a reason to shut down the whole project or replace one astronaut.
Were the cultists arrested?
They handed themselves in
Oh. Did they get the death penalty?
Who knows. No one seemed to concerned. They were just a plot device. The episode didn't really make much sense at all.
Thank you, anon. I agree with your assessment. I'm glad I did not watch.
I actually only enjoyed the first episode, which is weird because I feel like I shouldn't since it's just a girlboss power fantasy. But at least it had the whole AI deepfakes and mobile devices listening to everything you do stuff going for it.

5 was a leftist power fantasy, also not black mirror.
I don't know if it's worse than season 5, but it's not even close to the first 3 seasons.
Absolutely, unforgivably shite. From start to finish a pure distillation of fuming shit producing the ultimate purity of shit by the end.
Anons, what would you do if goyflix was going to use your life as a series? How would you be able to flip the script on them so to speak? Since the lawyer was no help at all.
It would be humiliating for me and extremely boring and depressing for others to watch.
It wouldn't happen to me because I've never signed up for a streaming service before.
Depends. If it was just a 10 episode season I'd lock myself in a room and do nothing for 10 days. Nobody wants to watch a guy on his pc all day for 10 episodes.
If it was a nonstop show then I'd simply pull a kaczynsky and go away far from society with no technology around me. They can't make a show if they can't track me, right?
>it's a truman spends all day jerking off to stuff they can't air on tv episode
For the real though, you shouldn't eat stinky food in the break room, that's just common courtesy.
How woke is it?
You have shit taste and are easily impressed. Apologise and frick off.
1 was shit. 2 was even worse than shit. 3 was tolerable even with yeah science b***h and the superior Mara in it. 4 was similar to 2 but worse because of the werewolf trash. And 5 was actually not too bad.
Overall the season was absolutely fricking trash.
>First 3 episodes=kino.
Both objectively and subjectively wrong.
The entire season is shit and everyone is saying so. any attempt to praise even one episode is just total cope & damage control.
Midway thru ep1,made me chuckle a few times,hilariously bad.
Entire thing was shit. Wogs and jeets every episode.
NO THANKS.
