*They get more Miley*

truly all I want

[corroded_tears]

Without the gross ableism of “San Junipero” though, PLEASE

[xeroxicide__]

I mean...the first thing I did when this all started was start reading a 500 page horror novel so...some of us want it. 😭

[beigemediocrity]

I definitely read more horrors during “these unprecedented times”

[ferelden]

I can't read rn. When my depression gets bad I lose the will to read but I have been watching loads of horror movies lately!!

[beigemediocrity]

I know different things work differently for other people. But reading does wonders to my depression. I just feel like my brain is focusing on one linear thinking instead of jumping from one place to another.

TBH I'm not too sad about it, I feel like Charlie Booker's writing has fallen off or maybe the truth is that the world is pretty dark so it's hard to imagine tech stories to make it darker.

i don't really know if it's on brooker, imo the switch to netflix and the increased episode count did the show in

[ugotnothinonme]

yeah and it was Americanized

sometimes you gotta let british tv be british tv

[artemislives]

Yup to both of these replies. The Netflix series lacked the bite of the originals.

[sandstorm]

I still should probably watch ... well, any of the episodes I haven’t seen. Which is everyone except USS Calister and Bandersnatch.

[spiral_mystik]

You can say that. Or you can also say that season 5 was garbage and he needs to take a break.

[hubbabubbabb]

lol my thoughts exactly. Good excuse, in all fairness!

[saemcrh]

All the Original Netflix seasons were awful though, not just 5 lol.

[spiral_mystik]

But season 5 was a new level of bad.
