Watched two episodes of Black Mirror. Interesting.
ooh yes! i watched a couple of episodes of that.
interesting, thought-provoking. depressing.
right up my street!
I wanted to watch the whole series but it was too late to see the whole thing without paying.
the depressing aspect was beginning to get to me, mind.
The two i saw were both rather depressing. I was left wondering why I should watch more.
Well, i suppose the same reason why one should read books like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451? ( noticed some stikingly smilar themes in Black Mirror)
Then again, six stand-alone episodes might have been overdoing it.
I didn't think either of the two I saw was as good, though. In the end, the first one, where the PM is forced to have sex with a pig, was utterly pointless. Well made, sure, exciting, sure, but ultimately I was left wondering what the point was.
Similarly, I had problems with the second one. A pedal-powered future where people live in cubicles with obligatory TV programming? Again, exciting and well made but far-fetched and ultimately pointless.
