Given that The first episode of "Black Mirror" has a man who is forced to have sex with a pigFans will often advise new viewers to start the play elsewhere. Because the debate on which the "Black Mirror" episode serves as the best introduction to the series raging, "Consare" of Season 3 gradually climbed to the ranks. The episode takes place in a world where everyone is evaluating each other from five stars after each slight interaction, and that rating has an impact on your ability to get a job or buy an apartment. "I nose" is dark, but not too dark, with an attractive premise of science. It is the perfect episode to dip your fingers in the "black mirror" waters.

The other benefit of "noses" is that is surprisingly funny. It is painfully relevant satire about how superficial is so many of our internet interactions. We laugh like Lassi (Brice Dallas Howard) has a worldwide conversation in the world with an elevator associate, and later as she is judging, a driver with 1 starvet from her tall horse with 3 embroidery. Of course, every episode of "Black Mirror" has included a fun dark humor, but several episodes make people laugh as loud as this.

Much of this is that the episode did not write the show Charlie Brooker. He wrote the review, but the script itself was written by Mike Fur and Rashida Onesons. Mike Four is a writer of Sitkom known for the creation of the "Office", "Parks and REK", "Brooklyn Nine Nine" and "Good Place". Meanwhile, Onesons is perhaps best known for playing Karen at the Office and Ann Perkins of Parks and Recreation. It was a big shock back in 2016 to find out these two Americans with comedic backgrounds Writing for such a gloomy British series.

In Interview with AV Club After "Nosevi" first fell to Netflix, Onesons and Shur explained how they were engaged in the job. "We were both gigantic fans of" Black Mirror ", said Onesons," And I used my way in Charlie (Brooker). He was very, very nice. I had a friend who worked on Channel 4; I told him I was a big fan; What she Starred in a recent episode "Black Mirror" "Joint People".

Four and Onesons explained how Brooker gave them an overview of the episode, and their work is to write the individual scenes. "It was a pretty complete description of the four -page story, prose," Four said. "We went through the bit and scene by the scene. Part of the purpose was to be comical, and maybe a little more comedy than the average episode of" Black Mirror ". I think they are all pretty funny, but it's a comical idea for a woman to slowly lose her place on earth. "

Four also explained how he and Onesons split the writing process: "In the story there is one point of Midway, which basically reveals that her friend does not want her to come. I was" well, I will write there and you write after that. So we wrote half, and we folded it together, Things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and things and we processed them together as a team.

In other words, Four has greatly tackled the part of the episode that referred to the more realistic, socially amazing moments, the things we saw as perfect at the "office" in particular. Onesons was in charge of dramatic things in the second half, where Lassi went from a politely trying to move in social dynamics to feel bold enough to actively shout at the people who upset her.

Some fans have complained about how easier the "black mirror" appeared after moving to Netflix, but it is difficult to complain about the light tone of "wearing" specifically. The concept of the social rating system, although dark, is a premise that begs to be taken from a comic angle. There is a reason why "Saturday night live" would continue to have So much fun with the conceptAnd why "Community" Season 5 would have its own episode based on the general idea ("Development of Applications and Mirudies").

An example of the "community" is noticeable because it was broadcast two years before "nose". Some fans were wondering if there was a foul playing here by the "Black Mirror", but it seems clear that the similarities in the conspiracy have nothing to do with plagiarism; The performance of social media was simply all minds in the 2010s. The 5 -star evaluation system has already been used for Uber's businesses and drivers, and the idea of ​​one's social status is associated with how many online followers have been around for even longer.

Which TV -Show has better handled the premise? I actually think the "community" wins this round. Since the "black mirror" took to be both funny and seriously, Sitkom's explicit format allowed the "community" to boost the absurdity as much as he wanted - which ironically made him even more biting in his social comment. Since the "Black Mirror" downloads social ratings systems ends with the system still in operation, but the protagonist finds peace ", the community ends with EFFEF and Britain crashing the system. Both are still entertaining stories of science, but the" community "of the concept feels.
