An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Me and the wife have been huge fans ever since nasa BBC pa siya. While the tone shifted drastically with the move to Netflix, I can sorta see why they nearly pivoted away from it completely this season by going absurdist and meta-humor. There's only so much you can do with "technology is bad" and being known for twists e.

BBC

It wasn't aired on BBC. Black Mirror was first aired on Channel 4, counterpart ng BBC. Black Mirror is the reason I gained knowledge of Dogme 95 (typically an ultra-guerilla style of filmmakimg) from S01E01.

Yeah, I missed the vibe of S01 and S02 na napaka-bleak ng storytelling, and thick UK and Scottish accents. Haha

Channel 4 pala sorry, haha. Basta around 2010-13 we were binging British shows hard. Nagsimula sa Sherlock, napunta sa Happy Valley, The Fades, Utopia, The Shadow Line, and so on.

Black Mirror is also what got me into looking for similar shows, to no avail. People always recommend anthology shows, but it's a different type of anthology. There's nothing quite like it. It did get me into Jam, which was a series I never would have come across.

Love, Death, and Robots

I recommend this show for its innovation. The animations are state-of-the-art.
