TV Shows Black Mirror - Season 7 (Netflix)

[Tommy Boy]

Y'all, I am halfway through season 7 of Black Mirror and I gotta say, FINALLY, a return to what made them wildly successful in the first place. If any of you have kept up with this show, then you would know that Season 5 was supposed to be the end. But, money talks, so Booker was convinced to do Season 6. And Season 6 was the weakest of all, with only two of the five episodes revolving around technological nightmares, and the other three just being horror.

I can say with certainty that this season reminds me of the OG seasons, they actually recaptured the magic. I feel that you can still do horror within Black Mirror, but it has to be about tech. Season 6's "Red Mirror" shit was garbo. We don't want Red Mirror, we want Black Mirror. And they actually listened for once.

If you watched previous seasons and enjoyed the show, I implore you to check out Season 7. I'm about to finish the last three episodes now.

I'm halfway through the last episode but it's long and I need to go to bed.

The season starts strong and it's definitely delivering some good OG Black Mirror vibes for sure

I watched the first episode and I'm not sure I want to watch more. What an accurate and horrible commentary on our world.

Well that first episode kinda hit me like a freight train.

Like I always understood the idea behind trigger warnings, but now I understand.

It was a LOT even without being able to personally relate to their specific situation. I can only imagine how you felt.

Any of today's tech companies would jump at the chance to prey on desperate people like that.

The next few episodes were more "fun"/ less like being hit by a freight train, in case anybody has been put off by us talking about the first episode.

Anybody scan the QR code at the end of the fourth episode?

I believe it links to the Thronglets mobile game

Yeah it does. Those little fuckers are impossible to keep alive.

I think the technology in Eulogy is kinda neat. I don't think I would mind that being used at my funeral... although the guide would be my cats and I don't know how helpful they would be it would be interesting to see people's memories of me from their perspective (but definitely NOT my exes!!!)

I told one of my friends that at my funeral I want everyone to be really confused as to who I was while living. Like was I a nice person or did I bite them? Maybe I was the Zodiac killer? Yes, I was a leader of not one, but TWO cults. One says : yeah she tried to introduce me to B because I thought he was cute but also turns out he was a gang-member..??? And someone else says: she made me two whole pans of homemade lasagna for me to freeze when I was dealing with a newborn. Just really wiiilldly different stories about me.

Just a heads up that Bandersnatch will leave Netflix next week.
