Black Mirror

Wanted to see what all the buzz was about... I've watched 5 episodes and got bored out of my mind. Feels like it's targeted for teenagers. It has a very simplistic take to it: ultra-hyper-dramatization of very basic concepts and bad behaviors of a minority of people. Reviews say it raises questions about society and politics but does not provide arguments or details either way. The stories are sometimes interesting but lack any depth and in the end, it's the idea that counts, or so they say. Just presenting basic questions with no details and some vague/weird drama only makes people argue and thus promoting the series. I find it pretentious. One of the society satires i enjoy is South Park which most of the times present quite a complete picture about a topic with multiple perspectives and arguments. Compared to South Park at that, Black Mirror is kind of showing you only what the main character(s) see.

Has an interesting and creative concept, but the execution is mostly bad. The writers did a bad job creating believable and relatable worlds, it lacks good dialogs, most of them are cringy. Also you can predict the outcome of the episode after about 15 minutes in. I liked the first season for its themes, which made you think about what the future could bring. But the second and third season are very over the top and not relatable at all. Very overrated in my opinion.
