The guinea pig tells the cops who kills the baby, the couples’ success rate is determined by how much they rebel against the system (it’s all a simulation for a dating app anyway), the robot dog is killed, but not before it covers its victim in trackers so its friends can find her, and the British lady is actually an American come to set free her father’s digital consciousness.
Your absolutely right, TZ is generally better, and even many of the the Black Mirror themes are just copycats from older stuff, just like so many childrens things today.
However, there is one particular episode of BM that is very pertinent to today's internet "culture" and even r/drama in particular, and that is the episode entitled "Nosedive".
Yeah soon after I saw that ep someone on my twitter feed was like "it feels so amazing to get followed by someone with a good follower to following ratio, like you're so special" and then I looked at my own awful ratio and felt like dirt lmao
I know you are just being ironic and sarcastic, but I really do think that the follower/following ratio does give the users a social pressure that they feel judged on, and definitely gives a celebrity status to certain uers
It’s because while Black Mirror makes statements about technology that will come and go, the Twilight Zone is about human nature. Those themes will never age out.

Redmayne for being a tranny?
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-01-02
I meant the acting. The guy was handed a role and he nailed it. Is everything trans somehow political/agenda loaded? 🤔

Also there's more where that came from. Look out for more edits. I'm currently watching Black Mirror S04E02

Citizen Kane has the advantage that it's just interesting enough to put you to sleep. If you're watching paint you'll have insomnia.

1 Face_Braxton 2018-01-02
Which episode is that?
1 Chromebookbitches 2018-01-02
It is by far the best episode of Black Mirror, and is incredibly pertinent to many people's behavior online right now.
1 Face_Braxton 2018-01-02
Okay. I guess I'll torrent that episode tonite
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-01-02
Boi if you aren't in for a world of disappointment lol. It's blown out of proportion and just ridiculously unrealistic imo.
1 Face_Braxton 2018-01-02
Well then I probably won't like it. Twilight Zone usually balanced extremes much better than most shows nowadays
1 Teh_Jews 2018-01-02
Id suggest the Black Mirror episode "Men Against Fire". That might fit what you are looking for.
1 t3hryan 2018-01-02
Men against fire I could actually see happening someday. Being legitimately programmed to kill easier.

Is this even a controversial opinion? Black mirror will be unwatchable in 10 years, twilight zone references are still known 50 years later
1 Face_Braxton 2018-01-02
On Reddit its controversial.
Irl I haven't met anyone who's thought that
1 TherapyFortheRapy 2018-01-02
On reddit, criticizing any media of the last 5 years is controversial, because it's literally all anyone here remembers.
1 westphall 2018-01-02
Reddit likes the CW superhero shows. 'Nuff said.
1 infinitude 2018-01-02

1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-01-02
San junipero sucks ass lol
1 WarSanchez 2018-01-02
Yup, worst episode imo.
Everyone else hypes it tho.
1 IIIIIIIIIIlIl 2018-01-02
It doesn't suck ass, it is a fine piece of television to watch for 1 hour with no strings attached.
It just isn't a good "Black Mirror" episode, since you know its a Romantic feel good from start to finish.
1 baaaaby 2018-01-02
not fitting in with black mirrors other lreachy garbage isnt a negative
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-01-02

1 Shalabadoo 2018-01-02
for starters, the theme and Rod Sterling's voice narration are still iconic

Well, yeah... obviously.
You need to pick a more controversial comparison.
For Example:
Star Trek: Deep Space 9 > Babylon 5

Red Dragon > Manhunter
Justified > The Shield
This > This

But twilight zone is absolutely timeless.

Black Mirror just forces their message and ends with a shitty Shyamalan style twist.
