The progress can be clearly seen. Objectively speaking, 4 stars is definitely no problem. The story, lines, plot rhythm, etc. are all good, and the music inside is also very good. The soundtrack of "Shard" is "this is my last day" , made by Sakamoto Ryuichi, the male lead is Andrew Scot (Moriarty of Sherlock), and the sincerity of Netflix is evident. Because I like rock and roll. . . The ending song of the third episode is also a big love, but I can't find it on the domestic Internet at present, so I can only ask foreign friends to help find it.
Maybe most people think the English version is good, of course, I also admit that the English version is really good. I was also a little disappointed when the first season of the US version was a bit blunt and didn't capture the soul of Black Mirror and the taste of the audience. Later, there was an interactive drama (that's how it should be called...), which is completely an experiment, and the plot is meaningless. But this season is highly recommended!
First, let's take a look at the difference between the British version and the American version, comparing the first season of the British version and the fifth season of the American version:
English 1.1 topics: media, public opinion, morality, public psychology, etc.
Issues in English 1.2: capital, commodities, utopia (a bit of a Brave New World feeling), loss of self, etc.
Issues in English 1.3: Surveillance, infidelity, humanity, privacy, etc. (this episode is not too impressive).
Technology plays an auxiliary role in the British version of Black Mirror, and the real contradiction is human nature, morality and other social issues. In the environment of future technology, magnify the problem of human nature .
The setting of this season's American version of Black Mirror may not be so imaginative (I won't spoil it), and the technological environment of these three episodes is all around us, or not far away from us. But it's more about how the advancement of technology has changed our lives, and you can actually find people in the play around. This is true tech-black (not black-tech, it's tech-black) .
There is no human nature that is deliberately magnified, and there is no boundless technology, which is closer to our real life and can arouse our thinking and reflection.
Ignore the trolls, this season is definitely worth watching.
