Netflix - 'Black Mirror'

[ImaginaryDay2]

Has anyone seen this series? To me it seems like a bit of a commentary on technology and the good, bad, and ugly that can come of its advancement.
Some episodes are quite serious and seem to raise different ethical questions, but there are also some that are rather comedic
Opinions?

I haven't watched it yet and I think that's because each show is its own show instead of it being an actual series, it's more of an anthology. Do you recommend it?

My opinion is that Netflix is an instrument of Satan and the money you to pay to watch it is nothing more than a tithe to him so he can carry out his work and a Christian should have no business with it.

But to each his own (Galatians 6:5).

I do - but with a word of caution. Most episodes are rather explicit in content, but that's not really the draw for me. It's more the idea of where technology can easily take us if we're not careful. But the way the world is now I'm not too sure we're being careful in the first place. I think of (real world) AI and what's being done with it so far - even as far as helping make medical decisions.
But it's not just AI. One episode addresses a common email scam (i.e. "If you don't send us money we'll release all your lurid videos to all your friends...), knowing there is nothing to release. But what starts as an apparent scam turns out to be real with devastating consequences. To me it shows the lengths any one of us could go to when sin runs rampant

You make it sound interesting. Maybe I'll give it a shot when I have some free time.
