Black Mirror wants us to think

Dewatch Black Mirror ·

2025/10/19

I think that, as societies, we are remarkably good at adjusting to "new normals", but quite bad at reflecting on those changes, especially with so much of media getting swallowed by finance and megacorps. Now, while I would be ever so happy to live in a world where black mirror is the middle of the pack in a rich field of art wrestling with the cavalcading changes happening ever so quickly, it's certainly the most prominent and probably one of the best attempts we have. Thanks for thinking through

"I've gotten better at it now, but the transition to a hit and miss format was really hard in the beginning. If you're not careful, you spend so much time making the misses that the hits suffer, too. It's a tricky balancing act for sure." - Charlton "Charlie Brooker" Brooker, appearing on the "Keep 'em wanting more" podcast

i have this pet theory that all advertising is essentially information pollution (they have to say the thing is good so it's always in bad faith) and should be banned, but that the information function of advertisment is needed, but should be replaced by review and product journalism (which should probably be funded by like giving everyone a base budget they can spend on news / reviews)

Fifteen Million Merits is the worth of adblock

2025/08/10

"The rise of social media, and the fear it has produced in television executives, means that shows like Hot Shots are saturated with anxiety – not only the anxiety of the hot shots, who are often selected for their hair-trigger tempers or psychic weaknesses, but the anxiety of the producers, always looking for the next hashtag outrage, for provocations that will go viral. This anxiety, and the surrounding social situation that engenders it, takes us beyond the cool ambivalence of Warhol’s

White Bearly getting it till the end

Dewatch Black Mirror ·

2025/07/13

It's interesting how this episode is quite reminiscent of a videogame in large parts considering the way it is about entertainment. It's also interesting that the arctic and the antarctic are named for their relation to bears, but the constellation. But I reckon they wouldn't have kept it if they had found bears in the antarctic but not the arctic, but maybe I'm just being optimistic.

Brooker originally pitched season 3 of BM to channel four but they changed their mind, ordering a movie instead, leading him to make an anthology episode for his anthology series. Yes, I'm writing an informative description for once because I'm not sure what joke I could make that I would want people to see before the content warnings.

"We don't need a melting pot for our service, Mr. Brooker. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the themes - the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - to maintain their identity. You appreciate anthology." - Reed Hastings, probably
