I miss the old Black Mirror…

I'm legit wondering what crack were they smoking in the latest season.

I thought this season was way better than the season before it. I was glad they went with something different like the horror theme. The season prior was a shit show of boring tropes.

I couldnt even finish this season, it was just so boring

They just ran out of ideas because they used all the good ones in the first seasons.

I just recently started rewatching some of the older episodes and I realized that "Be RIght Back" was inadvertently an LLM episode. Having a computer absorb the online presence of a loved one to allow you to talk with them after they've passed is honestly something that seems within reach for these models.

Fun fact, that's what Replika was originally designed for, before they realized they could make more money marketing it as a therapist and/or erotic roleplay partner.
