Look at the plot lines. The British seasons were much deeper and had actual twists. It wasn’t just the technology itself, but the specific ways in which it was used. The American ones are basically “technology bad/scary”. They lack the nuance that made the first seasons amazing.
Exactly! I think everyone will agree that a good example is the difference between Kitchen Nightmare UK and Kitchen Nightmare US. The UK version was more humane. There wasn’t a lot of shouting, and there were long scenes where we could see the situation develop. It focused more on human emotions and had deep moments.
The US episodes, on the other hand, are like watching something through the eyes of someone with ADHD. They don’t let scenes develop; they transition to another scene quickly. I hate it.
Have any of you watched the last couple of seasons? It’s not just technology bad and one episode of werewolves… It’s not tied to any specifics, there’s many episodes that are fantasy, or at least not sci-fi.

And werewolves, for some reason
Have any of you watched the last couple of seasons? It’s not just technology bad and one episode of werewolves… It’s not tied to any specifics, there’s many episodes that are fantasy, or at least not sci-fi.
Oh definitely. But this was at the extreme end of not sci-fi since it goes into werewolf territory.
The first episode ever of Black Mirror was about the British PM fucking a pig after all. Not exactly a critique of tech
do the warwufs have nards?
Yeah, better before there were Americans in it, but not because there are Americans in it. Because things weren’t as interesting anymore.
