Basically, this "documentary" can be summarized as follows: "We in the West are the good guys and the others there, the foreigners in the East are the bad guys who want to destroy our democracies and the earth".

Of course, one can ask whether the countries in the West are still democracies at all, or not simply plutocracies in a democratic shell.

But this question and many other question are not addressed.

Otherwise, the usual confusion between "climate change" and environmental pollution. Of course, also subtly accusing only the non-Western states.

In addition, the usual claim to impose democracy on other cultures and nations as a kind of salvation from extinction is telling.

The really important questions, such as the concentration of power and, since the 1970s, above all concentration of capital in few hands, which leads to inequality and consequently to the existing problems we have today, are not asked. The continuous social cuts since the 1970s and the mass privatization of the people's property are not being asked. And whether these problems could have anything to do with the current state of the world and the rise of authoritarian tendencies is not asked.

I have no idea what I saw there. This is not Black Mirror. It's a cheap comedy. And I did not laugh.

The entire sixth season. To deliver something so lame and visibly low-quality after such a long break is unbelievable. Apparently, the authors were told to remove the gloomy and serious presentation, thus making it more suitable for the masses. Especially since Corona.

There's really nothing oppressive or emotionally impactful about it like there was in earlier seasons. I think this season will most likely only go downhill.

If this season was not already be the last. Even the dystopian-technocratic atmosphere is completely missing.

This excellently made short series is atmospherically dense like Black Mirror. But it's not about the consequences of technological development. At least not directly. But about the collapse of the social order, the survival of people while everything around them no longer exists.

Each individual episode represents a certain period of time, e.g. episode 7, which shows a woman surviving 50 days after the collapse of society (one of the best episodes, by the way). The exception is the last episode 8, which shows the events 5 days before the collapse.

A much too unknown series that left a deep impression on me. Unfortunately the series only consists of 8 episodes, each about 15-25 minutes short. The short duration of the episodes is an advantage when designing a captivating episode. I hope there will be a new season with more episodes at some point. With episodes this short, there should be at least 15 episodes.

In terms of production (camera, editing, lighting, sound / music), the consequences are all equal and well done. This is an example of what the European film industry can offer.

Presumably some self-proclaimed ''patriots'' (Neoliberals with great love for the rich) who are delusional will see this series as socialist propaganda.
