Nosedive - What happens next?

I'm not sure what you mean by small white flakes? I doubt they'd kill her, the society seems evolved. It looked like a temporary holding cell.

I thought the ending was also really upsetting too. I think they were happy yelling at each other for a while, but I thought maybe they would smile or something after getting their anger out. Where they going to just be angry people for eternity. I was told Nosedive had the one happy ending until San Junipero

I think she went into a holding cell while she awaited sentencing for her public disturbance at the wedding. They take away your social media privileges when you go here.

The way I took the "white flakes" in the end was that now that she was disconnected from the world that revolved around maintaining a fake perfect image and all its filters, she was finally able to see the world clearly, imperfections and all. The dust flakes in the air represented the most genuine thing she has seen for likely quite some time.

I read this a little differently. I like the idea that the dust symbolized that the filters are gone but this also plays into my idea.

I think that the truck driver represented true freedom. She flat out says that social media is crap and that when she let go she found that freedom. She also says that you have to control yourself so you don't just spiral out. Now skip to just before the wedding. She has the chance to follow the truckers advice to just let go and have a glass of whiskey. Instead she goes the other way and rants.

That rant was the tipping point between someone who has had a form of control to a person who has just lost it. In that society an outburst like that would be and was damning.

That cell she was in was her own personal prison and the societal filters (for her) were now off.

The other guy was in the same prison and they used similar tactics. Troll tactics.

It started nice enough but quickly devolved into a battle of insults. They weren't smiling because they were free, they were smiling because the outburst they were having was giving them the angry response they so badly needed. Like a predator with a full belly.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not. I'm sure some troll will come tell me that I am wrong and wait for my angry response to flash those crocodile teeth.

I hope they fell in love and lived happily offline for the rest of their lives. The end.

I assumed the flakes were her doll being ground up. But then I realized that didn't make any sense. I would have liked to see a resolution with the brother and a calm realization about things instead of ending with the screaming at a random stranger. We already saw the emotional breakdown at the wedding. The jail scene was a rehash of that and we got no resolution to her brother or her living situation. I realized the contempt the director and writer had for me as an audience member by the ending not having resolution to the characters we had invested in. Does she get a service job? Does she apologize to her brother? I gotta say whole it was a great show, I am Not in a hurry to watch any more episodes after that ending. I like resolution for my characters. Not into the artsy endings they frustrate me and I'd rather not be left hanging by a tv show. Kind of uppity way for them to end it which is ironic given the subject matter. I won't downvote it though. I don't do that lol. How unfortunate the last scene made me think of Michael jacksons "black or white" video instead of seeing her characters resolution. I just can't explain what a huge miss that ending was
