I never watched it, but I’ve heard about this show both in passing and in “left spaces.” Are any of these things true about it? Thanks.

–It is too on the nose with its social commentary. –The criticism it makes is obvious. –The subjects it tackles are low-hanging fruit of the digital era. –It is the stupid person’s idea of a profound show. –Something about it being British led to more dunks on it. –The reason it entered left discourse in the first place is because it had potential as a critical text, but ultimately failed at it.

    It’s a good social comentary. It isn’t explicitly anti crap-it-all-ist but it can touch some of the underlying things to watch out for. It’s future-adjacent dystopia stuff. How a society can be blind to the insideous nature and not think they are getting fucked…well the pig fucker one is pretty on the nose janet-wink

    Some episodes can be filler as with any series. Later episodes tend to be worse, but I think the writers were getting tired of it and started to parody themselfs and just remove the 4th wall but in a not funny deadpool way, but a “we’re sick of making this slop for you” way.

    I enjoyed Nosedive. I liked this review of it which breaks it down.

    Just got off the phone with my lib husband in awe of Zuckerfuck buying a $200M yacht with profits he stole from his workers and selling his users out to the security state and insurance and marketing companies. twisted Told him I hope it sinks.

    As the creator of the show said the series is meant to warn us. nineteeneightyfour
