My speculation: I think the creator, Charlie Brooker, intentionally made this show worse because they don't own this shoe anymore. They made a nod in S06E05 by introducing a new label, "Red Mirror," that focuses horror-themed stories.

well i guess i'll just follow where they end up going when they get their creative control back. Netflix just fucks wth
Show threadPancit CantonJun 25, 2023
Netflix has nothing to do with this. Charlie Brooker himself wants to reinvent the show.
Show threadlechekaflanJun 24, 2023
Also a sign they're running out of material.
Show threadatomchocoJun 25, 2023
idk?? if so maybe they can just expand on the previous episodes but like urgh i'd rather have just one episode every few years than have them put out these subpar idk parang mga comeback pag Kpop HAHA ganon na lang eurgh cmon :(

Me and the wife have been huge fans ever since nasa BBC pa siya. While the tone shifted drastically with the move to Netflix, I can sorta see why they nearly pivoted away from it completely this season by going absurdist and meta-humor. There's only so much you can do with "technology is bad" and being known for twists e.

BBC

It wasn't aired on BBC. Black Mirror was first aired on Channel 4, counterpart ng BBC. Black Mirror is the reason I gained knowledge of Dogme 95 (typically an ultra-guerilla style of filmmakimg) from S01E01.

Channel 4 pala sorry, haha. Basta around 2010-13 we were binging British shows hard. Nagsimula sa Sherlock, napunta sa Happy Valley, The Fades, Utopia, The Shadow Line, and so on.

Black Mirror is also what got me into looking for similar shows, to no avail. People always recommend anthology shows, but it's a different type of anthology. There's nothing quite like it. It did get me into Jam, which was a series I never would have come across.

Jam (TV Mini Series 2000) - IMDb

Jam: With Christopher Morris, Amelia Bullmore, David Cann, Julia Davis. A surreal, ambient mix of bleak comedy sketches.

Love, Death, and Robots

I recommend this show for its innovation. The animations are state-of-the-art.

Show threaddecadentrebelJun 25, 2023
Yes! I loved the Three Robots episode, although the gut punch happens in the end.

argh but grr idc give me back my tech future bleak dread shit

but i'd agree if they're worried people might emulate their ideas if they're too close to home

Show threadVicks_inhalerJun 25, 2023

Yo... I fully agree with you this season has been meh. Episode 6 nalang hindi ko napapanood.

Lumang theme naman na kasi yung episode 1. Social media bad, internet bad. Rehashed over and over again every season.

Wala na yung moral dillema na nagpapa self reflect sa viewer. It's more on shock and awe now for the sake of it.

Show threadatomchocoJun 25, 2023

no shock and awe was felt

Kikuo - Gomenne Gomenne hit harder in a few minutes than these episodes did

Black Mirror to US was a really big mistake :( but idk SS Callister was good? Playtest was good??? wtf :(
