Jim with a G has seen Black Mirror, Jorgen hasn't. Gim thinks it's gone downhill, and we're watching seasons in reverse order to find out. Right after watching each episode, we try for an earnest, deep analysis of what we just watched, and get into our feelings about what it means. Join us in uncovering deep questions like "How far can an unsustainable system go?", "What has technology done with intimacy?", and "Have you considered that phones might be bad for you?" as we Dewatch Black Mirror.

The Selat Who Ate Its Tail taught us empathy can be weaponized

I enjoyed introducing Gim to star trek this season, but this episode did begin a long streak of gim not hearing the regular intro a single time in season 3.

Companion was a real departure from our regular fare

Upon reflection, maybe the reason we keep calling Harvey Guillén's character Guillermo is because of the massive similarities between his roles

Black Mirror wants us to think

I think that, as societies, we are remarkably good at adjusting to "new normals", but quite bad at reflecting on those changes, especially with so much of media getting swallowed by finance and megacorps. Now, while I would be ever so happy to live in a world where black mirror is the middle of the pack in a rich field of art wrestling with the cavalcading changes happening ever so quickly, it's certainly the most prominent and probably one of the best attempts we have. Thanks for thinking through it with us, folks.

Season 7 is a return to form

"I've gotten better at it now, but the transition to a hit and miss format was really hard in the beginning. If you're not careful, you spend so much time making the misses that the hits suffer, too. It's a tricky balancing act for sure." - Charlton "Charlie Brooker" Brooker, appearing on the "Keep 'em wanting more" podcast

Common People get the short end

i have this pet theory that all advertising is essentially information pollution (they have to say the thing is good so it's always in bad faith) and should be banned, but that the information function of advertisment is needed, but should be replaced by review and product journalism (which should probably be funded by like giving everyone a base budget they can spend on news / reviews)

Fifteen Million Merits is the worth of adblock

"The rise of social media, and the fear it has produced in television executives, means that shows like Hot Shots are saturated with anxiety – not only the anxiety of the hot shots, who are often selected for their hair-trigger tempers or psychic weaknesses, but the anxiety of the producers, always looking for the next hashtag outrage, for provocations that will go viral. This anxiety, and the surrounding social situation that engenders it, takes us beyond the cool ambivalence of Warhol’s aesthetic." - Mark Fisher, 2015
