I also feel the same way about the third season. The reason should be the way of thinking of the screenwriter to complete the script - the screenwriter strives to find the details of life that people ignore, including some trends. Black technology to strengthen such real contradictions. The scoring system and contempt chain in the first episode is a trend, but the audience outside the screen will not understand it. This system that everyone can rate to determine the status of others is full of contradictions, "swearing" points are deducted, " Points will be deducted for "unpleasant intersection", points will be deducted for "communicating with people with low scores", points will be deducted for "posting a selfie", and points will be added for "giving others points". These settings for the scoring system are somewhat far-fetched. . Regarding the panic of VR in the second episode, the screenwriter even gave a horror chip that seems to be invincible. How many viewers have already hinted at the final ending when the protagonist completes the horror chip test as a tester. This kind of setting is similar to force majeure It's somewhat difficult to convince the audience that the writers are imposing their own VR panic on the audience. Everyone who was threatened in the third episode lost the idea of resisting, which also made people feel far-fetched, as if it was not the fear of the hacker threat, but the so-called "fate" controlling them.
Looking back on the first and second seasons, the story at that time was more natural. The eternal memory brought by the memory chip tormented the lives of normal people; the Prime Minister's innocence continued to waver in the entertainment-oriented online environment; The deformity mechanism of programs and votes is much more natural than the scoring system; the cyclical punishment of White Bear Park is also more morally meaningful than VR panic. Telling a story well is not easy, but the screenwriter gave a high-level answer in the first and second seasons, and hopes that future shows will receive amazing stories.
Of course, some people say that finding reality from science fiction is not very reasonable. However, Black Mirror may be exactly the kind of TV series where sci-fi reflects reality. The political entertainment of The Waldo Moment reaction has played out somewhat before Clinton and Trump. As an audience, I still hope to have the feeling of "wow" and "I totally agree". Of course, as Black Mirror's mission, more open endings or sharper contradictions rather than absolute power (right or wrong) would have worked better. Take the sixth episode of this season as an example, I am afraid that the audience will also stand aside, "police", "hackers", "national political departments", "ordinary netizens", "people attacked by the Internet", "technology companies", None of the characters that appear in the series one by one can be recognized by everyone. When someone says "keyboard man, please explode on the spot", I don't agree anyway. Take the last police colleague who died in the play as an example. His "Death to" tag is given to the last murderer hacker. As for the logical problem of the sixth episode, it may also be introduced, those who suffered the consequences in the event are somewhat "manslaughter" - "manslaughter" means from the perspective of a hacker.
