Nosedive

In a world where everyone does everything for the sake of social media status, this episode is one of the most concurrent and scarily 'close to home' to date. Bryce Dallas Howard plays Lacie exceptionally and although some may say it seemed dragged out, I thought it was very suitable for the episode. The pastel visuals were great, and the subtle technological advancements encapsulated the Black Mirror feel. The bigger budget is evident in a lot of scenes which can sometimes take away from things but mostly aids the story. If you're an avid social media user, this episode will definitely make you question why you make certain social connections, and whose acceptance are you trying to gain. Hope you found this helpful. Maybe leave me a five-star rating :)

Nosedive is the closest to our future now. Nowadays most people rely on social media, and their confidence depends upon it. It is really uncomfortable to watch this, mostly because it is so true now. The characters are becoming us now in this modern world.

Bryce Dallas Howard deserved an Emmy for this episode.

Extremely good episode, one of the best so far. It lets you think about the true, harsh, judgmental human nature.

People tend to deal with other people when they think that person might enhance their reputation, connections, or material situation. It's like when we buy expensive gifts for rich people, and we never spend as much on people in need who can't afford to pay us back. We walk away from our friends if we felt they are affecting our situations negatively, sometimes without even trying to help.

On another level, it shows the effect, and falseness of social media network on our daily lives. We tend to look perfect and connect with the right people, while hiding the true us with all of our pain and struggles. I loved this episode but I dropped a star because I don't agree that the alternative "true self" they suggested will do any good for human nature.

I hope this never happens in real life. My rating would be really lame and I think I would go crazy.

This programme is everything I've learned to love about "Black Mirror". It is a wonderful satire about our obsession with social media and the approval of our peers.

Hand on heart, it started slowly for me, both in terms of pacing and content, but my engagement and investment in the characters and story seemed to grow exponentially throughout. The final exchange is magnificent.

I would enjoy delving more into the different stories within this world. To follow the lives of differently rated people.

This is science fiction at its very best. Nosedive uses a fictional social construct to examine our faults and give us further personal insight to the unhealthy obsession we have over the thoughts of others, the desire for recognition and the facades we present to those we 'love'.

Bravo.
