Ha. That's the most outlandish part of the plot. In terms of enforcement and control, Black Mirror's Metalhead episode seems the more likely vision, where the robotic dogs are comparable to drones.
Black Mirror episode Metalhead playing on a TV in the background or picture-in-picture would be most fitting, I think.
Agreed. They leaned so heavily into the horror/thriller anthology genre that the techno-dystopian angle got lost completely (although I haven’t watched the streaming episode yet). None of the episodes felt imaginative like the early seasons did. It was just a season of British Horror Stories with one episode set in spaaaace and another one with a disco demon (what?!).
If they want to keep it going all they have to do is go back to some of their best episodes and write more stories set in those worlds.
What happened to lead to Metalhead? What’s a rich playboy’s life like in the universe of 15 million merits? Whats the prison industrial complex like in White Christmas? Whats crime like in White Bear? There’s so much content to mine!
