Amusing, but the actual story is moreso. Turns out Mr Tansie tried to win the damages via property in CA “owned by god” since the deed had been recently signed over to god. 🤦🏽

The rest of the examples in the Wikipedia article are pretty amusing too. 😁

No worries. Looking incredible so far!

You nailed it regarding closure and the therapeutic nature of it. That’s exactly how I took it. Life throws a lot at people. We can’t stop that. It’s simply a byproduct of existence.

Sometimes closure is hard to find, so it was really nice to see that happen for someone. There are some things in my own life that still weigh quite heavy and it was nice to co-experience the feelings of Paul Giamatti’s character.

This is really neat. Got any other photos to share?

Thanks again for this. It was really helpful.

Watched Eulogy in the living room and one of my kids was kids hard in the feels zone. I chose to focus on the positive and really liked the episode. They wanted to know if this was how Black Mirror always was, so we watched my fav episode of San Junipero. Goodness do I love that one.

Anyway, I really enjoyed all the rest of the season.

That first episode really hit me hard, so I was worried about the rest. Maybe it was bad timing. More likely that it just hit too close to home. Add in the advertising economy in real life and how it’s everywhere, stealing your info, and blocking everything from any semblence of a good experience. It just got to me. I will never understand the irony in Netflix releasing this episode.

Oh no.

Oh no.

This a great interview.

Being brave enough to be wrong about something so fundamental is no small feat. In this clip, what he describes briefly at the end regarding his wife’s reaction is just the tip of the iceberg.

For people so deeply entrenched in ideologies and worldviews such as these, the ramifications of accepting being wrong and pivoting can be devastating to marriages, familial relations, communities, careers, and more.

My heart goes out to those wading through those waters, especially those gathering the courage to shed the falsehoods at great cost. 💜

The thought of subscriber based healthcare genuinely freaks me out.

Super cute! 💜

So freaking real, right? Gaa. Awful because it’s too possible. Butttttt… As far fetched as some episodes can be, this is what the creators are aiming for. 😅

And so fitting because I had to recently drop Netflix and other services to crappy ad tiers because I can’t afford them any more. In the end, we can live without these things. But this episode was making me so mad because it was literally life or death. And no talk of how the government was doing anything to stop it. Just too real.

This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I knew someone could do this. I really appreciate you taking the time. Seriously. 💜

Except for when it’s not. And I love those episodes, hence the OP. See my comment here in terms of what I mean: https://lemmy.ca/comment/15880323

Haha. Exactly. There’s something about it that makes you curious, but then… the whiplash.

It’s well produced and a lot of actors shine in these episodes. Some episodes are incredible. Most though… most may leave you feeling pretty miserable. With that said, I think the show is worth watching when there is a silver lining, hence my post.

In all honesty though, you might be better off over all without watching. The world is pretty screwed right now and the futures envisioned with these episodes usually take it even further. (But not always… again… hence the OP).

I responded to a similarly comment here: https://lemmy.ca/comment/15880323

Awesome, thank you!

The show can be bleak. Depression and bleakness can be a tough mix. Look out for yourself, friend.

I mean, San Junipero is a really amazing episode. Last season, Joan is Awful ended pretty well. Hang the DJ also.

Black Mirror is what it is, but there are definitely some episodes with redemptive qualities in spite of the terrible technology the episode is centered on.

I’m just curious if any of the episodes this season end that way.
