Is Black Mirror Too Real Now?

Black Mirror is a show that had such an interesting premise when it first aired that it immediately caught the attention of the public. It’s an anthology series about the dangers of technology going too far or falling into the wrong hands, with a sci-fi lean despite the premise of every episode still feeling at least slightly grounded in reality in some way. Part of the initial fun of the show was the horror element, of seeing how far technological advances could get pushed before they were just bad for humanity. While this is still part of the appeal, the way that the real world itself has changed over the course of the show’s run has led to it feeling a little less fun to watch.
