Black Mirror - Dark Sci Fi Anthology Drama

[SouthernBitchBob]

Finally had time to catch up with the latest season. I can't believe they thought the bit where they briefly halted the plot of the episode so the emasculated white nerd could tell the brown protag lady that her Weird Alien Foreigner Food Smelled Weird And Please Cook And Eat Elsewhere was such important social commentary it deserved a spot in TWO episodes.

Small favors I suppose. At least Charlie Booker didn't subject us to one of the other tired bits of petty racial animus like Black Wimmins Hair Is Secretly Mocked And Everyone Wants To Touch My 'Fro or Everyone Stares Daggers At The Brown Paper Bag Test Failure (outside that marathon of race baiting that was Poojeeti the Shoe Demon one) Instead we needed jabs at evil slut-shaming whitey, objectification, and other Major Feminist Issues. Hell, the -only- good thing about that drag of a spaceship episode was that I don't remember a jarring part where the main character turned to the camera and whined some activist lingo, and that episode was certainly long enough that it could have.

Season 7 is out, saw the first three. First one was about how shitty subscriptions services are it was kinda funny. Second one was just ok. The third episode is dog shit. It was gay and lame. I thought it worse than the San Junipero episode if that could be humanly possible. It looked at that and said "Hold my Beer".

Just saw the 4th one, it was also ok. Pretty much The Sims taking revenge. The ending was predicable. Saw the 5th episode before bed was boring, turned it off 20 mins in. Episode is sum up as:

OI BRUV WHAT IF YA MUM WAS A TOASTA

As I watched the 2nd one, it's like I could already hear the reddit think pieces about how the black lead was actually being victimised by the white woman. Surprised they didn't blame the kid in White Bear for provoking the mixed race woman into murdering her.

Watch the 3th one and try to watch the whole thing, I bet you can't. Opening of the ark levels of bad.

Love how Charlie Brooke’s started this season off good and then it turns into complete dog shit. That third episode was the biggest piece of shit feels like Brooker was just gooning to his negress lesbian cuck fantasy.

Edit: I was tired of it and decided to skip to the ending to discover I had 30 minutes left! Awful!

Just watched 5 episodes I don't care about the USS episode so I skipped it here is my thoughts:

1- It was pretty funny and clever I liked how they made the wife say irl ads because she was in the basic plan and how each time they upgraded a new tier is introduced and they have to upgrade to it , the obvious solution was piracy but since it is on netflix that's maybe a reason why they acted like you are forced to subscribe to a service while I pirated the whole series without being subbed to their bs service.

2-The concept was really cool I liked the idea of someone being able to change information in real time and doing mandela effects , until the secret was revealed that she had a remote connected to a super computer and that's how it changes reality. It didn't make much sense and was a simple explanation to a complex situation , considering the villain was a super genius she made the dumb decision twice to arm her opponent with a knife and created armed police while she could have made a smarter decision that wouldn't endanger her lol and the black lady getting all that she wanted while being a bully wasn't a good ending if both of them got what they deserve it would have been better.

3-The lamest and most bs episode ever it lasted way too long with no real plot , I think this season they were too self aware with replacing every historical white male with a queer black woman lol and making the story more lame and reducing men to dumb idiot while the brave ladies make the smart decisions and save the day lol.

4-It was a very boring episode they could have made it in 5 minutes but they made useless flashbacks and the interrogator lost his shit every time and he needed to be calmed down by the black woman and because of her the earth was doomed since gave the crazy guy the time to tell his story and accepted all his demand while they only wanted to know the name of the corpse.

5-Nothing interesting happened in that episode just some guy remembering his past lover using old photos it wasn't bad but wasn't good either just okay and it was a cliche story.

I think only the first and second are worth watching the other episodes are boring and mediocre.

Is it just me or does just Charlie Brooker have a fetish for black women?

Netflix have a black fetish he's happy to take the money for indulging. I think he has a fetish for black same sex stuff tho, this is the second black/white lesbian pair, plus that black/black dude one (which I call 'the Polar bear fucking' one.)

It's the first time I've watched any show that was released in the past 5 years just because I liked the setting of the first USS Callister back in 2017. Holy shit I'm not even just doing this but every White Male character was evil or useless, I was giving it a chance but they made it so obvious:

Spoiler

- Britoid that lives with his mom and treats her like trash
- His Britoid friends instantly surrender, other than the non-white one that puts up a fight and hurts the main character
- Airhead "gym bro" type American guy who makes some of the biggest mistakes while wanting more responsibility (and never gets it) who also is the only "good" character that gets killed
- A CEO who's evil and basically a slave owner only interested in money that is clueless and makes a billion obvious mistakes
- Clone CEO who goes through a humiliation ritual, basically naked half the time and gets humiliated by the other characters. The only white male character you could call "good", but he literally does nothing on his own and is just there to be laughed at.
- Creepy coder guy that wants to basically have the main character be a sex slave, unironically uses the line "I'm a nice guy" that is supposed to be a "God character" that gets killed by a fucking knife. Lmao.

Too lazy to list all the non-white characters, but literally every single one is "good," OP or super intelligent. It's a shame, too, because I thought the episode wasn't bad. Just wish the writers could've made it less obvious with their white hatred.

It reminded me why I stopped watching TV shows, catflix.su meant I didn't have to pay for it, thankfully.

Pretty much The Sims taking revenge

Does it at least end with the main character being stuck in a pool without a ladder?

Final got around to watching.

First episode was good. The premise was well done, and it really imbibed the sense of "this is the possible future, and it fucking sucks". It was also the only episode in a long ass time where I felt drawn in on the premise enough to be affected. Fuck that fictional company, I would have bombed their fucking offices and placed that cunts head on a pike.

Second episode started pretty good. I thought it was going to go in a completely different direction, but was ultimately let down by "super computer just changes the universe lol". What a fucking waste, and the ending sucked. Couldn't even punish her for how shitty was as a teen.

Third episode sucked. I saw San Junipero, You really didn't need to do it again, but lamer and with Awkwafina.

Fourth episode was frustrating. I was following along on the story, getting invested into it wondering whether or not the whole thing was Capaldi being a schizo, the Neopets being benevolent, or the Neopets bring on the apocalypse All for it to end with absolutely no answer either way, and not really ending on a nebulous thought to linger it. It just ends, and it feels like someone just torn out the last page of the script for no reason.

Fifth episode was good. Nothing standout, just kind of a nice walkthrough of the guys life, ending on some melancholic notes after it invests you.

Sixth episode did not need to exist. I do not know why they needed a sequel to the USS Callister, nor why it needed to essentially be the same episode as the last time, where the crew of clones have to outwit a malicious cunt in the real world. Just rewatch the first USS Callister episode, it's better.

As I watched the 2nd one, it's like I could already hear the reddit think pieces about how the black lead was actually being victimised by the white woman.

A thread saying that very thing was the number one post on the Black Mirror sub a couple of days ago. Anyone who dared question that narrative was lectured about being lucky they don't have to experience workplace racism themselves and ranting about "micro aggressions" and whatnot. There was even a comment that said it was "obvious" that the scene where the white character said she found the black girl so intimidating was due to her being black. All so predictably insufferable.

 

[Mark Goldbridge]

Watched a few more based on some reviews in here. Where's the black in black mirror, it just seems to be a generic mirror reflecting back what beige people think the future is going to be like.
Where's the actual darkness for the episodes to end on like the first 4 seasons? The episodes I watched: 2, 5, 6 seem like they're going to have a bad ending and then boom in 2 minutes it wraps it all up in a positive bow where the main characters, no matter how bad they are all succeed.

this is what most people are saying, in general. like at this point even normies are like "this show hasn't been good since it stopped being made by english people for cheap" and they're mostly right.

Where's the actual darkness for the episodes to end on like the first 4 seasons?

it was bad for watch times so he had to remove it.

 

[JenkinsJinkies]

Sat down with the wife to watch season 7 yesterday.

First episode was pretty stupid, premise was alright but it felt like a Redditor wrote it with how heavy handed and out of touch it gets at times, basically "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" for an hour then you're supposed to feel bad for these useless retards?

Second episode was completely retarded, again mildly interesting premise but they make it very predictable and drop the ball hard on really doing anything with it before lazily shitting out possibly the worst ending they could have.

Didn't start the third...

I was thinking the same thing. If was the husband, I would've gotten up, locked the door, and then proceed to choke that bitch to death.

 

[The Crack Spiders Bitch]

Episode 1 was okay. Sad because yeah, so many people just tolerate the subscription model on everything.
I was surprised it wasn't darker though.
I feel like Season 1 Black Mirror would have made it more hopeless, like they both end up prostituting themselves or she has a fail safe chip that activates a self defence mechanism that kills him and she's stuck sleeping and repeating ads on a loop forever.

Episode 2 had an interesting premise and was pretty accurate if you've ever worked with a psychopath. That sort of sneaky shit and "gaslighting" you to the bosses was spot on.
Ending was weak as fuck.
I should have known that refusing to kill the nappy-haired resentful piccaninny was the harbinger of what was to come in terms of retard shit for the next episode.
So the coon started a rumor about a student and a teacher to bully an exceptionally intelligent white girl, the teacher was forced to quit his job, and I'm supposed to "Yassss kween " that she becomes empress of the universe?
Fuck off.
Really quite telling how the idiot writers see "justice" - Niggers can do no wrong.

Episode 3 was shit. It was unbelievably shit.
First off, Awkwafina is God awful and I don't understand why they keep putting her on screen because she can't act.
Somehow the nigress was even worse.
If I didn't know better I'd say this was a very meta episode about how shoving shitskins into established media makes everything worse and terrible.
The whole movie in the episode and the episode itself was completely ruined by having the sambo included.
That would be too on the nose for Netflix though.
Always funny when these progressive morons inadvertently make excellent points advocating for racism.

If I had been watching this by myself I would have turned it off at the 23 min mark, but instead it became 1 hour of Shaniqua jokes. My friend and I were laughing at the dichotomy between the white actress and the sheboon lead.
The white woman is graceful, intelligent, polite, and reserved in her character.
The jiggaboo, even when trying to mimic a romantic male lead from the 1940s, just exudes angry blaqqq DMV receptionist. Utterly talentless. In the episode she is apparently a famous black actor but she can't even mimic?

The whole time this was in my head:

The episode was accurate for the shoehorning that goes on in modern media with darkies, faggots, or troons being included in everything.

After the reboot and the kiss, "Brandy" looks like a confused spider monkey trying to figure out how to steal a shiny necklace - not like someone who just had their girlfriends memory wiped.

We didn't watch Episode 4 as I have reached maximum levels of nigger fatigue for the day.

TL : DR Everyone here was correct about Episode 3 and I wish I had found this thread earlier.

Episode 3 was shit. It was unbelievably shit.

I skipped the episode once I saw her on screen. I hate her so much.
