It's been awful since season 2.

It's been almost the same 'you use technology, but maybe it's technology that uses you huh, makes you think' over and over.

Very insightful article and great writer

criticism, like comedy, requires someone to create something unique first. the stake critic does not exist without original content made by someone else. when everyone is a critic, nothing original occurs, and the doom loop perpetuates.

as i have said.

"Black Mirror fails to consistently explore the duality of technology and our reactions to it."

Can't wait for the next Black Mirror episode to leave me cheerful and optimistic about the the future.

Iโ€™ve only ever seen two random episodes of Black Mirror and while I could appreciate the stories and the acting, both episodes disturbed me.. deeply.

Iโ€™d rather not be reminded of how we can use technology to becomeโ€ฆless.

Technophobes love to write, itโ€™s the only thing they can understand about technology.
