Forum Overview :: The Netflix Instant Forum :: Nah, you were right

[quote name="fabio"]Checked out that episode. It's exactly as you said, a rehash of Network for the social media generation. Which would be fine if all the commentary wasn't so painfully on the nose and the dystopian setup too contrived to be effective satire. I have a new grading system for futuristic dystopia works where you're assigned a positive or negative score based on two movies that tried to tell the exact same message, <i>Her</i> and <i>Surrogates</i>. Awesome nuanced satire gets a <i>Her</i> rating while contrived on the nose satire for teenagers gets a <i>Surrogates</i> rating. I'll leave it up to you which rating I'd give Black Mirror, but I would like to announce (courtesy of another relative with shitty movie taste) the winner of this month's <i>Surrogates</i> award to <i>In Time</i>.[/quote]
