Trying not to binge, but the first episode (Common People) was amazing.

Its Cory Doctorow’s enshitification meets Repo Man’s Big Hospital. So fucking on-point and brilliant.

    wot if yer brain was wifi m8

    but yeah I did like that episode, though some of the writing was a little too on the nose. I think a better ending would have been if Rivermind failed as a startup and all of its customers just died. the cam site stuff was fucking depressing and too real

      If black mirror is depressing and too real, they’re doing things perfect.

      I really, really liked the ending

        for sure, I thought the cam stuff was the best part of the episode

        but the ending was dumb. couldn’t they have just cancelled the subscription, effectively killing her? that would be a lot less painful without making the husband guilty of murder lmao. the episode had good ideas but a first draft-ass script
