The current summary: the overall depth and pattern are regressed. Not up to the highest level in the show's history. But still interesting.
Everyone loved the series, so expectations should be lowered. Not as good as the first two seasons.
Episode 4 "Blind Date Master" was great. Too bad it's a love story, not Black Mirror at all. The same is true for the last season. After selling it to Nianfei, it is not as dark as the previous two seasons.
The first episode of "Implicit Novels" was shocking on the surface, and it also made me understand why foreigners like Chinese online pornography novels, but in fact, the connotation and script are very general, there is no deep digging, the characters serve the plot, and the final outcome does not involve others real people.
In the second episode of "The Best Mom", the satire reflects that the theme is qualified, and the emotions are also very measured, but the sense of technology is super low. Moreover, an APL that has been offline for more than ten years can still be maintained and used, which is too conscientious.
The third episode, "Memories of Murder", has good acting skills and good human nature, but the script is more like "Wild Story", and the layout is not big enough. Now, there is no such shocking feeling of being able to see the microcosm of the whole society in depth from one episode of the story, and even less like the second episode that only reflects a certain phenomenon.
The fourth episode "Blind Date Master APP" made me cry just watching the love story, how much experience I remember. Brain holes are also qualified for big technology. But this is not Black Mirror, the sense of irony is extremely low, and the dystopia is completely overshadowed by love.
At the same time, one of the major manifestations of this season's feeling of being scratched is that it feels that if the technology inside is used properly and there are restrictions and reasonable use, there is no problem at all, and it can even benefit mankind.
For example, in the first episode, the protagonist must have done something abnormal, and the setting of letting others know that he is an NPC slave is suspected of serving the plot, although they are just codes. But when this kind of game is developed, how many people can resist the temptation?
If the program in episodes 2 and 3 is reasonably used with restraint and restrictions, it is simply the gospel of human society. The third episode finally relies on this technology to solve the case. If the real-time monitoring in the second episode is reasonable, can it not help many people? Think about our kindergarten events this year? ?
Of course, these technologies can also be used to do bad things. The key is whether fair use restrictions can succeed.
Everything is good in the fourth season, and the final ending has a big brain hole, but the perfect APP and love obviously dilute the irony of the Utopia before. Isn't such a good true love APP the gospel of our single dogs?
If these things can be used intelligently, humanized, reasonable, and limited, then I think it is very good, especially in the fourth episode, the official candy at the end.
So Black Mirror's current pattern and irony are not strong enough. And the taste has also changed. In addition to the decline in quality, the more important thing is that these technologies and stories are not disappointing after reading, but there is a little expectation!
