Raced through this 6 ep BBC thingie. So good. Sort of a Black Mirror lite set in near future. Heavy on the dystopia. Writing is so good, so many great little futuristic ideas which seem so plausible visa visor BIG BAD GOVERNMENT.
The Group Chat Link thing creeps me out though. Are families really that close? Man, mine weren't. What a pain being so interconnected at all goddamn times. FFS, I have to turn the music down AGAIN for these skypey family dickheads so they can drone on and on about their boring day? Jesus, it's like a telephone you have to answer that just won't shut up.
It was so accurate how it portrayed the little kids as just silent numbed zombies beholden to their phones. They never physically "play" and have nothing in the way of a boisterous imagination or playful curiosity like the kids from my horse and cart childhood had.
Sadly though, being the bastard I am, I did quite enjoy the banking collapse in Ep 2
Was great to see Bethany blossom into a mega-spunk in the last 10 minutes. Lincoln too! A bit idyllic how no one called him a pansy though.
