Like what the fuck? This is the most normie shit in existence. It's for housewives to watch when they want to feel smart. It's shit for the birds.

All the concepts are so poorly developed it makes me physically ill to watch the stories play out. Half the episodes are based on technological advances but the writers seem to be completely technologically impaired. I can already see the fucking hacks sitting in the room throwing their half-assed ideas.

>"Hey! what if like, you know how teenagers are always on their cellphones?"

>" Ya, totally candycrush and shit. fucking millennials immaright? "

>" Ya, ya so imagine like if like we get consumed by technology and become supershallow and shit."

>"Holy shit, that's brilliant! why has no one ever thought about this before?"

>" Wait till you see my next idea. I was watching Ex machina last night, something about a china room, wasn't really paying attention movie was boring but that shit gave me an idea. What if like we created artificial copies of the human mind and like made them work for us. To do our chores and stuff, you know?That'd be fucked up right?"

It's better than most TV these days anyway.

You're correct. The only good one ever is the sopranos.

now name 3 better concepts for 60 minute episodes that are deep, entertaining and cheap enough.
>>
>>85493277

Cowboy bebop is boring as fuck. Show is episodic and most event/actions have very little impact on the story(atleast not until later on). Characters aren't really that developed, universe feels shallow and animation is dated.

I'm sure a lot of nostalgia fags love this show but it hasn't aged well.

Anybody who has seen the original Twilight Zone give me their thoughts on how both shows stack-up?

season 5 episode i think, they all install an app called meowmeowbeenz. Its the exact same thing idea..

You're trying too hard, anon. Everyone has already heard this and no one thinks you're smart for reducing a show to DUDE LMAO TECHNOLOGY

I was considering watching this but, is it really half baked all over?
>>
>>85494400

Depends on your understanding of technology.
>>
>>85494400
meh still a fun show to watch for the most part. just don't expect any crazy depth.
some episodes are real bad, but most are at least entertaining. considering each episode is a totally different story you can just start with some of the higher rated ones to see if you like the general tone maybe.
>>
>>85494017
Season 5 App Development and Condiments. App developers allow a community college to beta test out an app called Meow Meow Beanz that lets them rate people out of 5. Which in about two hours turns the school into a dystopia where the 5 rules and lower ratings are made slaves. Two days pass until the 1s rebel and figuratively execute the 5s by mass downvoting them. Then someone points out that its both stupid and it's Saturday and everyone goes home.

When I saw that episode of Black Mirror I just assumed both episodes were based on some book
and then I looked it up and realized Black Mirror straight up stole a plot from fucking Community
>>
>>85494086
The format is different in Twilight zone, episodes are only half the length and the concepts are really interesting, I highly recommend you give it a whirl. Only watched the first episode of Black Mirror so far and wasn't too amazed though.
>>
>>85492127

Black Mirror is really hit or miss. 1 or 2 episodes per season are actually good and the rest are complete crap. Season 2 only had 1 good episode where Haley Atwell gets her brains fucked out by a dildo and thats it.

White Christmas was really cheap sci-fi and made me drop the show.

What about that Drumpf(waldo) episode?

>>85495137

The first one. Every episode after it is so fucking trash though.

It wasn't about Trump, it was even more stupid than that. It was about Crazy Frog.

how dare you
>>
>>85495733
Are you saying you got no 'big brother' vibes from the second episode?

he's saying he had the same feeling of hopelessness, not that an hour episode of black mirror is superior to 1984. Try not to be so offended all the time.
>>
>>85495733
The feelings of always being watched and no escape are so heavy.
>>
White christmas was great and that is a footnote in the episode, they wanted the audience to sympathise with the cookie.

When the episode ends and he's locked in ground hog christmas day you can't rationalise the torture he is put through by saying he's just AI as doesn't make his pain any less real.

>It's better than most TV these days anyway.
this isn't true at all though, what kind of garbage are you watching to even think that Black Mirror is anywhere near the top ten shows on tv right now?
>>
>>85495911

I didn't feel anything because of how poorly executed the episode was. It looks like they were going for that "A brave new world" kind of story where society is consumed by hedonism and technology but it was just so poorly executed.

First of all, the "entertainment" was fucking garbage. It completely broke my immersion. One way you can make concepts like that look scary is by making them feel realistic. But I've seen early 2010s iphone games with better gameplay than the shit they showed on their screen.

Second, the bicycle thing was ridiculous. Why would you need fucking bicycles to power anything. It's so bloody inefficient. A single nuclear reactor or hell a few solar panels could fucking destroy their power output.


The entire episode is based on poorly thought out concepts.
>>
>>85492127
It's just Twilight Zone for millennials, but instead using a wide array of supernatural or even ordinary circumstances to tell differing stories that relate different ideas and emotions about the human condition, every episode is about how too much technology is bad for you. Also every episode ends on a slightly dour note so normies can pretend there's any real depth to what they've just watched
>>
yeah i kept getting excited by the premises then every episode was fucking bullshit
>>
Feels like it's been made 10-20 years ago, maybe at the time of X-Files. All the concepts from the show are literally mainstream now, and already implemented in some form so what's the point
>>
>>85492127
I spent an afternoon thinking of ways in which the standing bike power generation episode could be better.

the problem with the series is that all of the episode concepts are undeveloped and that the episodes are not heavily interlinked (I know some of them are obviously linked together).
>>
>>85496315
post your top ten then
>>
>>85496388
Oh i'm not defending the episode at all. You're right, it was all very poorly executed, and clearly not thought out.

Its still fairly obvious what they were going for, and drawing a connection to the feeling invoked by 1984 isn't that hard to imagine.

he is asking what is better, not to go and make their own version which is better

Right, I felt that every single concept they tried to present fell apart within 10 seconds of giving it any actual thought.

That said, some of the episodes are still quite entertaining-
>>
>>85500527

Which one?
>>
>>85492127
Maybe your experience of life is too limited to appreciate good sci-fi. As a very depressed disabled person (motor neurone condition) San Junipero made me fucking bawl.
>>
>>85500729

Alright let's take episode 2 for exemple:

See here: >>85496388

Defend this. Also

>Maybe your experience of life is too limited to appreciate good sci-fi.

What? Fuck off with that shit.
>>
I agree with you OP
Felt like most episodes were dragging on because the point was clear within minutes

It's still an ok show though, don't regret watching it. Haven't watched the third season yet
