The first few seasons sorta did this in some capacity. I remember the intensely British early episodes mostly all included a social critique of some kind. A lot of the times that critique was sorta liberal in nature, but at least it was present. Early Black Mirror was almost like a Twilight Zone for gen z and millennials.
But wow did it have a sharp decline, especially after Netflix got it. Season five and Bandersnatch were especially terrible. I'm not even sure if the show has been renewed. If it ends up getting cancelled, I would hazard a guess that maybe it wasn't covid but those last two releases that did it in.
Imagine if Black Mirror retained the quality of episodes like Fifteen Million Merits all the way through its run. In this thread let's come up with actually good Black Mirror episode concepts. I always get a kick out of people doing the whole "wot if ur mum ran on batteries" bit.

So its just last thursdayism pretty much? still not quite understanding. This just has so little application to real life, no one thinks of their yesterdays self as dead, and if your position is that no one really exists, then why even care? why be a communist if no one exists and people dont matter?
You claim its "the best explaination" but its still a pretty dogshit one. I just say IDFK, and so does everyone else.

oh so this is like an existentialist thing, never really understood that stuff, had to read the stranger in high school and the book bored the fuck out of me, all i got from it is hes a bitter sociopath with racial hatered for arabs. Ive kinda perceived stuff like sartre and other weird hyper-philosophy like nihilism as radlib, and felt they take the pain capital causes and spin it into some cosmic unfairness we have no power over, when really we do.
So at the end of the day, im not gonna put my head in a people cloning machine :anprim-pat:
