Black Mirror: the commodification of the true crime genre is vile.
Netflix every month: Did someone say murder??🤑🤑🤑
Brilliant on Black Mirror to tackle our obsession with true crime. This episode had a haunting and creepy aura throughout which made for a very uncomfortable experience.
CUUUUUUNT! FUUUUUCK! CUNT! CUUUUUNT! FUCK! CUNT! CUNT! FUCK! FUUUUCK! FUUUUUUCK! FUCK!
I don't understand this episode at all. I don't understand how the story meanders before jumping to its obvious twist. I don't understand the thematic significance or satire of this, and I don't see how this should fit in the Black Mirror universe. For a true crime short, it's maybe passable, but it's just too lazy and underwritten for a Black Mirror episode. Two bummers in a row.
a slow burn but man this was fucked my jaw literally dropped at the reveal… myha’la herrold the actress that you are.
I hate hate hate "Streamberry" as a parody name!! It fucking sucks!!!!!!!
Anyways, that aside, something feels weird about Charlie Brooker trying to take on Netflix with multiple episodes of a Netflix show. Master's tools, master's house and all that. Netflix knows damn well that it means nothing for him to shit on them because they're making money off of it and audiences will never really turn away from Netflix because of it. But also, there's nowhere these concepts could go that wouldn't seem hypocritical, so it just feels a little pointless for me to get hung up on that. Thought it was a bit predictable (hard for Black Mirror episodes not to be– not a fault, just a conceit of the medium) but I liked it
