    I stopped watching at some point because I felt that the point of Black Mirror, which was, originally, in my opinion, to create a debate and make you think and reflect on how technology can change everything… Turned into typical, empty scifi dramas.

      I totally agree. Season 1 and season 2 were the apex of the series - exactly for the reasons you mentioned.

      Season 3 and 4 lost a lot of the magic. Season 5 and beyond, I’ve cherry picked a few episodes and always ended up asking myself “meh, why did I watch this?” I expect nothing more from the upcoming season.

      I really wonder if they just ran out of innovative ideas.
