Why is Black Mirror so underrated?

Shut up and Dance is some of the best TV I have ever seen.
>>
jesus christ guys at least give me one reply
>>
It isn't
>>
literally the worst episode
>>
Not underrated, just not well known
>>
>>82239477
shut the fuck up kid
>>
>>82240947
literally the best
>>
That kid was literally /ourguy/.
>>
>>82239477
It's overrated. It's a shit show, each episode is nothing but an outline of an idea that goes absolutely nowhere. Go read some sci-fi book, you'll have hundreds of ideas like that delivered right to your brain.
>>
>>82240984
DEY FILMED MEEEE
>>
>>82239477
it is thought provoking, but the flaws add up quickly

for example: okay. maybe the hackers filmed the kid jerking off. But the camera couldn't record what was on screen. You only have the word of the hackers he was watching kiddie porn. B-but what about the ISP access log? Well, he was fucking HACKED. They could have put anything on his laptop.

Add on top of this the kid looks really young. Like a 14 year old jerking off to a 13 year old.

Honestly it's sloppy writing
>>
>>82241571
this bugged me too. this episode doesn't beat the Bee one.
>>
>>82241571
Dude is definitely over 18 or in his mid/early twenties, and looks it.

Also, it's called suspension of disbelief.
>>
>>82241571
>>82241646
Not even suspension of disbelief, they could easily ruin his life with completely faked shit. It didn't start off with a really big deal of shit either, he wasn't going to go rob a bank and murder a guy for that video.
>>
>>82241571
Bronn was gr8 doe
>>
>>82242258
>gr8 doe
kill yourself
>>
>>82241571

Pretty sure the police were over the whole bank thing. The screaming mother on the phone is probably spot on, knows her son is weird already no doubt and then a cock vid gets posted everywhere saying he's a pedo. People usually just take stuff like that at face value.
>>
This episode was fine, but i didnt find anything in it remarkably exceptional. Why does /tv/ like this episode so much. Is it because you relate to the pedo so closely?
>>
Nearly every episode has cuck themes
>>
>>82243736
His mom probly believes there's a nigerian prince who owes her money.
>>82243779
Cause it's not the future it's the present.
>>
Its decent when its not DUDE POINTS WILL CONTROL YOUR LIFE LMAO
>>
>>82241731

That's the only part of the episode that's clever. You spend the first half of it trying to figure out what this kid's deal is that he's so freaked out about people finding out that he jerks it from time to time that you don't consider pedo shit until much later. And then you realize that they weren't even trying to hide it with the girl in the beginning, and you're supposed to have this switch in feeling from thinking the guy is getting totally screwed because he isn't like a total piece of shit to wondering what it says about you when you find out that he is.
>>
>>82239477
but was it K I N O ?
>>
>>82244908
That and being pushed ever forward into harder shit by all these people that just want to get on with their lives. His job was to deliver a cake, everyone else made him go farther and farther with it to save their own lives the hackers didn't even have to press.
>>
No gives a shit if you are a 15 year old pedophile holy shit what a garbage episode
>>
>>82245095
Nobody did, cept his mom and him. That's not the point.

I'm still not sure why people think he's a pedo. He was watching like MTV and started getting turned on looking at adult women, then you see him go to a site that's clearly just regular porn.

Everything beyond that seems circumstantial.

San lesebiano wasn't even really a black mirror episode, just Hollywood trash

White Christmas is best episode
>>
It's meh tier. none of it is disturbing or thought provoking even on a conceptual level. the best ones are the ones that are set in the present desu, and the worst are the ones with dindu protagonists. I only even remember this show because I jacked it to tuppence middleton after seeing an episode with her in it

Daily reminder the little nonce got what was coming to him.

Seriously - didnt like the look of him from the first second I saw him. In fact if I was working there Id bully him along with the two chefs

what is wrong to fapping to young girls? I mean Is not like you are hurting anyone.

I swear to god that a thief or even a rapist is seen as a lesser evil that someone that enjoys porn depicting younglings.
>>
Good concept pulled off by nu-males that probably perpetrate the entire idea of their show in real life. Basically modern Twilight Zone if it was made by frail SoCal inhabitants.

This is a good lesson for everyone.

If someone is trying to blackmail you just take the hit. You will be a slave forever until they release it anyway because you have had enough. Unless you have some way to 100% get the only copy of what they have (which is pretty much impossible nowadays) consider it already released.

Went right over your head, huh? No. Their video of him did not motivate him to do worse things, it was him compounding it that went every single step further.

Do you mean overrated? It has some good episodes but it's not nearly as entertaining as Better Call Saul, which rated lower by critics depending on where you look.

I can't say I trust critics anymore. Seeing shows like Hand of God severely underrated due to its controversial use of religion.
>>
>>82245413
You watched her episode? I didn't see it because it looks like shit.
>>
>It's a "World where everyone has a [ubiquitous electronic device/implant] and the social media allegories that come with it." Episode

It's really dull shit if you have any experience reading hard sci-fi literature. Almost every episode makes the same point about human interaction and how it's affected by technology.

it was and the ending was horrible... it was like watching a musical
>>
>>82239477
It's the reason British TV is shit wrapped up in one show, ridiculous plots, stale ideas, dark "humor", and it strives for some convoluted message.
>>
i just finished watching an entire history of you and am struggling to understand why its being ranked so highly ITT. what's so good about it? shut up and dance left me more unnerved
>>
>>82248064
Is leaving you unnerved a necessary condition for quality?
>>
>>82248118
isn't that the point of black mirror?
>>
>>82248225
Well, I wouldn't normally think so, but all of the thoughtful episodes are lambasted by /tv/ so I guess that's what your ilk want from it.
>>
>>82248225
kill yourself kid
>>
>>82248274
that's honestly the only reason i watch black mirror

an entire history of you was just another run of the mill cheating story with a modern twist. nothing special or particularly interesting at all
>>
>>82239477
This is one of those pedo bongs we would have posted with.
>>
>>82248349
That is the quintessential BM: take a traditional story and add a sci-fi tech element to it. Shut Up and Dance was awful because instead of this, it relies on a bizarre "twist" with no message or substance.
>>
>>82248448
did an entire history of you have any particular message or substance?
