The Syndicate

I just watched the first episode of Black Mirror and I couldn't have been more disappointed. This is the kind of satire that I find the most insulting; one that thinks its incredibly profound and presents itself as this intricately-composed serving of brutal truth yet doesn't make any observations that wouldn't be self-evident if its hypothetical event occurred in real life. "Ooooooh people are distracted with the media, look at how much they neglect reality in its favor" no shit. Show me something I don't know if you think you're so smart.
