Shut up and dance. (Spoilers!)



This episode was even scarier, creepier and more horrifying than Nosedive. They made those people do all those things, and then still released the embarrassing videos which destroyed their lives! What a bunch of bastards!

This is a great series (9/10). I've only watched three episodes so far, and I am hooked!

Cover your Web camera!

I don't have one, but if I did I would definitely cover it!

Do you feel particularly sorry for a pedophile? 🙄

reply


No, not really.

I felt sorry for him to start with, and was questioning what I would do if my daughter told me she had been caught in a similar situation. But then when I found out what he was looking at, I lost all sympathy.

reply


Of course all we know is he was watching kiddie porn. We don't know if he did anything else.

reply

Doesn't matter - no compassion.
We did see him interact with a kid in a creepy way, btw. I say, it was only a matter of time before he attempted to move on from kiddie porn to the real thing.

reply


Yeah, sadly you're probably right. Pervs are like that.

I don't think it matters whether he was just watching it, or whether he did anything else.. even watching it is funding actual child abuse.

reply


Touche! That is a great point, snuff.

I think the episode "works" so well because at first you feel confusion, then sympathy, then revulsion. And of course, you think and talk/write about the episode later. You know, thought-provoking, an all-too-rare quality in most of what is on TV or (even) the movies...

reply

You should watch DARK, it's the most thought-provoking show I've seen this year (I mean 2017).

reply


I've heard good things about that series, but I hesitate because it's in German.

reply

Yeah, you have to watch very attentively, can't look away from the screen because of the subtitles. :)

reply


Yes, it makes it a bit more difficult.

reply


Amen.
