So I really liked this episode of Black Mirror, despite the fact that it looks like actual Hell to me - or maybe because it looks like Hell, and that makes it even more satisfying when Lacie actually realizes that the best way to win in her world is to not play the game. That being said, I have a question: do you all think this episode is still relevant? Since I got to college, I’ve made a lot of friends, and all the ones I’ve been closest with are the type of people who genuinely care for each other enough to accept each other’s flaws instead of either ignoring them or beating each other up about them. Since these are the people I surround myself with, I don’t really end up interacting a lot with “fake” people who have the kind of toxic friendships that are being addressed in Nosedive. Do people actually still behave like this, or do you think we’re finally starting to move past the point where it’s a problem?
