The Syndicate

Got it. I missed your spoilered comments before.

What I didn't like about it is that I felt the shock value aspect was really just there for the sake of shock value, and that it didn't really add anything to the story itself. I do agree with you on the idea of exploring media/social media and hedonism/voyerism.

The series or the movie?

Agree! And I've been telling everyone who will listen to watch (is that the right word?) it, too.

I am also a USS Callister fan. It was fun to watch--and I love some of the actors who were in it so I was predisposed to liking it. I also don't think I could pin down a favorite. I could probably pin down a top 5. Maybe I'll do that later.

I believe this is the first adult show, and it's really well done. I highly recommend it.

And I appreciate being a completionist--I'm one, too. Just watch a bunch of episodes before 1:1, so you don't think it's normal for the show, lol. It's, uh.......interesting? (and by interesting, I mean kind of awfully disturbing, and not in the fun way)

Season 4 is mostly excellent. Overall, throughout the show, there are some great stories with creative story telling and interesting concepts.

I meant to start at the beginning. I was highly amused by the S4E1 episode though. We're looking forward to watching more.

I highly recommend you skip 1:1 (National Anthem), if you haven't already been advised to do so.

Spoiler: show

DNA doesn't work like that.

Also, fun shit.

Which episode?

An entirely new "movie" experience, for sure. So creative and fun!!

I think I’ve seen all the endings but I’m not certain.
My favorites are: I also liked the post ending where
The specific one you mention I thought was the saddest.

I also love the video game title Easter eggs to other black mirror episodes. And, if you haven’t found it yet, you can go to the tuckersoft website. And apparently there is a way to play nosedive, but you have to download something to be able to play it.

Who else has watched/played the black mirror film? It is fascinating and fun and like nothing else. Seriously.
