At one point I assigned myself the homework of watching all of black mirror so as to understand “what cultural associations would be applied to what ideas by default”…
...and most of the episodes had me suppressing anger at the writers for just writing characters who violate the same set of very basic rules over and over and over again with no lessons ever learned by anyone (lessons like “never trust something that talks until you know where it keeps its brains” and “own root on computing machines you rely on or personally trust the humans who do own root on such machines”).
However, all the black mirror episodes that were essentially “a good love story in an alternate world” did not bother me in the same way :-)
Yeah! <3
