Black Mirror season 4

 Time for Noshi and me to sit back and watch some more of this very critically acclaimed series.

And one that while set in the future, paints a very realistic picture of what might be in front of us, as some of the older season episodes are already starting to form in our society.

I sometimes do wonder some technobuffs out there use this series as a guideline...

And as an otaku, for example the first, extra long episode of the series has a big Sword Art Online feel to it, with a power hungry shut-in locking people in a game.

Now, this series seemed to focus a lot on the mental control aspect of people, going from extreme parenting over to simulating relations for an app.

All coming to a very intriguing closure this season in the Black Museum episode, in which a lot of previous episodes and seasons "artifacts" make a cameo.

As usual, this series draws a grim, but possible, view of modern day society and where we might be heading, and this series has a bigger mixture of UK and USA made episodes, with Arkangel (the second of the season) even being directed by Jody Foster.

Perhaps more then the previous seasons, this one seemed "closer to now" in what can be possibly done with technology, as in perhaps 20 years from now as compared to the often "50 to 100 years" feel of the earlier seasons.

Intriguing to say the least...
