reflection on “black mirror”(week6)

“black mirror” is a wonderful  tv programs. which is using British humor in the series. the key word in all series is "technology "。 this tv series has a big courage to mordacity the social phenomenon in nowadays. and it also get a huge successful. 

black mirror is dark and creepy. it makes us reflection what technology bring to us. it is really good we are using artificial intelligence in our life everyday every minutes. what happen in the future. what happen if our phone become a robot and lose control in the future?

After watching the first episode, I was shocked about the negative reviews it received. I'm going to be honest, it wasn't what I expected but that doesn't make it bad. It was very dark, and very shocking; Had me completely on the edge of my seat throughout. You will have to watch it with an open mind as it is somewhat distasteful and well... extremely far-fetched (Which is pretty absurd for a satire, but I digress.) I did thoroughly enjoy it however, it hit all the right notes.

After watching the second episode, I was left in shock about the jarring contrast from the first episode. It's so different than the prior, it's set in an alternate reality and is just.. unusual. Still dark, still intriguing, but didn't quite capture my imagination the way the first one did.
The third and final instalment was probably my favourite of the 3. It was again, completely unrelated from the previous 2, but it had a really interesting concept and narrative, and was executed phenomenally. 

All in all, the series as a whole is very interesting, if somewhat inconsistent.
