I never watched it, but I've heard about this show both in passing and in "left spaces." Are any of these things true about it? Thanks.
--It is too on the nose with its social commentary. --The criticism it makes is obvious. --The subjects it tackles are low-hanging fruit of the digital era. --It is the stupid person's idea of a profound show. --Something about it being British led to more dunks on it. --The reason it entered left discourse in the first place is because it had potential as a critical text, but ultimately failed at it.
It's a good social comentary. It isn't explicitly anti crap-it-all-ist but it can touch some of the underlying things to watch out for. It's future-adjacent dystopia stuff. How a society can be blind to the insideous nature and not think they are getting fucked...well the pig fucker one is pretty on the nose![janet-wink janet-wink](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/dc4a5140-9dea-49d7-86c8-8e1e8db14302.png)
Some episodes can be filler as with any series. Later episodes tend to be worse, but I think the writers were getting tired of it and started to parody themselfs and just remove the 4th wall but in a not funny deadpool way, but a "we're sick of making this slop for you" way.
I enjoyed Nosedive. I liked this review of it which breaks it down.
Just got off the phone with my lib husband in awe of Zuckerfuck buying a $200M yacht with profits he stole from his workers and selling his users out to the security state and insurance and marketing companies.
Told him I hope it sinks.
As the creator of the show said the series is meant to warn us.![nineteeneightyfour nineteeneightyfour](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/9f89ac50-c091-4695-a2c4-2422e13cb2ff.png)
