does that black mirror show get better after the first one about the prime minister and the pig? because that one is really dumb.

I really liked the second one. Only seen the first two. Didn't dislike the first one as much as you though. Thought it was fun if stupid.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 11 December 2014 17:11 (nine years ago) link
yeah, the second and third eps were better.

then the batarang AI becomes envious of batman and once manages to sleep with batman pig's wife before returning to him. batman pig never trusts batarang or his wife again.

i just get the feeling that some people think they are being zippy and clever with ideas that were well-worn sci-fi cliches in the 50's.

I get a different vibe from it, that the tech isn't inherently bad, it's just that people generally suck and ruin everything fun. One of the reasons I like the show so much.
Also I want to live in the world where I can get credits and by pointless stuff by riding an exercise bike.
― Jeff, Thursday, 11 December 2014 18:36 (nine years ago) link
i really liked the pigfuck episode for how they played it so straight instead of doing it as some rollicking farce
every episode of black mirror has this really hand-wringy quality that i had to try really hard to ignore but once i did i really enjoyed them
― gr8080, Friday, 12 December 2014 16:53 (nine years ago) link
there's probably some tech that helps you ignore hand-wringiness

like if you approach them as meditations on the conflicting and daunting task of constantly squaring lizard-brain instincts with a rapidly changing world instead of oh-so-scary technology i think they're really poignant and effective
― gr8080, Friday, 12 December 2014 17:04 (nine years ago) link
yeah, and I think it's easiest to view the 3rd ep like that.
