meaningful sci-fi

I've watched two episodes in one afternoon, and I want to say that this drama only gave me a full shock. My previous exposure to science fiction was mainly through reading novels, from the older generation of Chinese writers such as Liu Cixin, Wang Jinkang and He Xi, to the emerging school of Chi Hui, Zhang Ranso and Hefu, to the American science fiction masters such as Robert Heinlein and Clark. I have read all the books. Of course, I have also read some niche works such as Japanese science fiction, Russian science fiction, and science fiction from other countries. Yes, they all have their own characteristics. I especially like Liu Cixin. I have read his works since elementary school. I have read all of his works so far. I especially like the work "Three-Body Problem". At that time, I was deeply impressed by the law of the dark forest and Luo Ji's creation for him. Convinced by this image, my favorite writer has always been him. As for sci-fi-themed film and television dramas, to be honest, there are very few science-fiction-themed film and television dramas that I can agree with and praise before, even for a work like "The Wandering Earth" that has been nominated and praised by the country, because the film combines some of the plot of the original with the What I wanted to express was completely changed beyond recognition, and I felt a little uncomfortable watching it. Also, it's disgusting to me that some superheroes can defeat bad guys and save the world in a sci-fi coat (not including "Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta"). And as the word "cyberpunk" was discovered by the public, the abuse of various derivatives is really low. Just make some mecha elements and colorful light bars to dare to call yourself cyberpunk, I can go to you, I hope steam Don't be fooled by punks like this, you've accidentally digressed. But Black Mirror 4, seeing its analysis and thinking on human nature and society based on future technological means and background, I just want to give full marks, after all, it is really rare that this kind of work can be created in the current environment.

    Compared with the third season, it has rebounded. The fourth season focuses more and more on the reaction of black technology, and does not necessarily match the weaknesses of human nature. On the narrative level, I like the first episode. The other episodes are mostly concept first. The fourth episode is dystopia. You can refer to "Logan's Run". "Return to the other side" is a very keen foothold this season.

    The first episode: don’t mess with programmers; the second episode, don’t mess with single moms; the third episode, don’t mess with insurance; the fourth episode, don’t mess with virtual matchmakers; the fifth episode, don’t mess with robot dogs; the sixth episode, Don't mess with the death inmates. "The Black Museum" has the best content, the metalhead rhythm and atmosphere, and so are the others. Of course it's worth brushing it all in one go, but it's really not as good as the previous three seasons. I don't blame the screenwriter, just the fear of the future and human nature.
