I had to give up on The Black Mirror after that episode where they have to exercise to earn credits and are forced to watch advertising. Then that girl thought she could make it out by singing but had to do porn instead. Couldn’t watch anymore after that.
I mean wasn’t season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn’t enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.
Ya, I watched that one too and thought it was funny. Then for some reason the workout thing really got to me hard too. I was working at a bank as a manager that was literally scamming people out of their money/ homes and hated my life. Living in a shoebox and barely able to afford my apartment. I hated my life. It really hit me hard.
FWIW, I think that episode is one of the weakest early season episodes. It’s somehow both too explicit and not explicit enough, because their world doesn’t make any sense beyond simply “capitalism”. The rest are a lot more in the realm of existential horror and questioning the morality of things. Black mirror just isn’t a good medium for an explanation of why capitalism is evil.
That Black Mirror episode still affects me to this day shudder

That episode got darker after the porn part.
Oh yeah, I finished the episode. I couldn’t do the rest of the show after that.

ah yes s1e2. you almost gave it a shot
Was it really episode 2? I guess I watched it a bit more than that, because I can remember a few more episodes. But many though, maybe another 2 or 3.
