Black Mirror Analysis | Hated In The Nation

[@Nitpix]

It's no secret how much I hate this episode. Great analysis though, you definitely made me hate it a bit less.

[@hanniffydinn6019]

NitPix well you'll never make a futurist! Black mirror was never meant to entertain first. They do have robot insects, bees are dying, drones killing is real, and Internet mob mentality is very real. Which part of black mirror Is futurist commentary first, then entertainment second. Don't you get !??????

[@WobblesandBean]

I saw your review before Harry's, and I gotta say, it's really cool to not only see such a differing viewpoint, but it's also heartwarming to see the both of you support each other. I think you both make a lot of good points, and while I agree with your critique of the main characters being unengaging, the overall message of the episode hit hardest and was by far the most brilliant one yet in terms of how it mirrors the current social climate of apathy and how cruel we can be under the veil of anonymity - or at least, what we've erroneously convinced ourselves is anonymity.

[@Huntersthomphson]

NitPix I love this episode.

[@GohnwithaG]

You said it

[@oOmary1389oO]

Why do you hate it? It's easily one of the best episodes for me.

[@rogueguardian]

This episode terrified me, it's basically a commentary on cancel culture, but instead of just being fired from a job or no one ever speaking to you again.... The consequence is death.

[@kittykittybangbang9367]

Cancel culture doesn't really do anything eg James Charles

[@akosuatab9006]

​@@lilglitchboi7259she didn't mock the death, she critiqued the choice to do it. The death was intentionally provocative and traumatising. The only issue is dismissing it as 'attention seeking' . There is a reason free speech exists. Don't agree with her article? Argue against it, debunk it. Let it spark conversation, because her article wasn't just hateful trolling, it was legitimate arguments that differed from the popular opinion. When you immediately decide to partake in hateful mob mentality it reveals your ignorance and proves the point that humans revel in cruelty. And what do u mean cancel culture victims get mad when others have differing opinions? Its literally the exact opposite. People insult and troll people they disagree with, using personal attacks, calls for violence and constant death threats. In a logical society you engage with those you disagree with, you don't try to 'cancel' them for having thoughts lmao? Cancel culture victims should not be shut down bc ppl disagree.

LimeBlue07 metaphor for what

[@WobblesandBean]

roberto dimas For what he said, a hive mind. You know, the way that people will dogpile on one another on the internet, or do a stupid stunt to attain meme status and then have a million copycats do the same thing, like planking and eating fucking tide pods?

[@CerberusComplex]

that's not what a hive mind is. A hive mind is more like a collective intelligence, like a large group of people who all have similar thought process. The metaphor is that bees represent a hive mind because all the bees function together and are "hard wired" (for lack of a better word) to sustain the hive. The bees are like the thousands of people on social media all rooting for someone's death. You can imagine the bees as the people because they both cause the death of the individual.

To people who liked this episode, I can recommend the book 'So You've been Publicly Shamed' by Jon Ronson - it is all about shaming on the internet and the trauma it can cause in people's lives. Twitter is a scary place

I love this episode. Although it is more a crime story I thought it was really well made. Especially how the characters acted and how public shaming was adressed. This was one of the episodes where I really want a spin off from tbh.

[@james-russellgause4735]

sci fi police procedural? yup. after san junipero this is one i can rewatch at least monthly.

[@katherinealbee7501]

One of the things I love about this episode is how creatively it combined speculative and current technologies, from social media to autonomous bees to hacking, and mixed it all together into something that felt really novel.

[@callanc3925]

Novel but in a weird way expected. It kinda reminded me of the game simpsons hit n run. They had mechanical wasps that acted as surveillance cameras

At the end I was almost shaking because it is so tense and frightening. Charlie Brooker said for each season they are trying to create a ‘film festival’ with each episode having a different genre - this one is definitely a classic brilliant investigation themed episode -love it!

I really love these deep dives into TV shows and your Black Mirror analysis videos are amazing and I would love to see more videos like this. I can’t wait for your analysis of season four, it looks like it’s going to be another great season. Are you going to analyse more Doctor Who episodes? I’d love to see your take on older Doctor Who as they are some of my favourite videos of yours and I’d like to see your thoughts on the upcoming Christmas special when it comes out.

[@MMAGamblingTips]

Natasha Whatmore I’ve never watched Doctor Who but love Black Mirror, TTZ, Inside No.9 etc. But I never watched Doctor Who for some reason. Is it like black mirror and the other series? Could I just jump in on the latest seasons or should I try and watch from a particular point? Thanks!

[@MMAGamblingTips]

27dollars - Progressive Speeches Awesome thank you! But is the show like black mirror and twilight zone or is it just something completely different? I never knew exactly what Doctor Who did besides telephone booth tardis I think they call it and I thought he sold mysteries or some shit LOL Again thank you!

[@feelflows]

Jr Dennison Doctor Who is a sci-fi show about a time traveler in a police box with his companions as they travel through time and space and they encounter many aliens and historical figures. It’s defiantly more lighthearted and comedic than Black Mirror but still a really good show, especially the earlier seasons with Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant. Doctor Who’s more sci-fi with some thriller/horror elements as opposed to the more psychological thriller and horror of Black Mirror. Plus Doctor Who is more of a family show, as Black Mirror is for older audiences, and they can’t really get into really gory stuff or fucked up themes like Black Mirror can. There’s still some creepy episodes of Doctor Who, my favourites being Blink and The Empty Child. The whole show (from 2005) is on Netflix, and it’s a great show!

[@MMAGamblingTips]

Natasha Whatmore Thank you! You rock! I’ll watch and report back to you guys and I will let you know what I thought. Happy holidays!

I really liked this episode. It got me hooked in the first scene, and the twist was fucking depressing, as always. xD

[@maxcarren112]

I really liked this episode, it was so detailed and had the air of realism. The police investigation was very well thought out, I liked that the ditzy hacker cop was actually good at hacking and not just mashing buttons to make green numbers flash. It's a terrifying warning about our increasing reliance on hackable systems, no information system is unhackable.

[@utaatu4576]
