I rewatched Nosedive last night, and I still think it's the strongest of the season. Simply from a direction, cinematography, score, and ambition level, it has no peer in the entire series. It is unrelenting in its vision of an Instagram hellscape, and the sense of dread the characters feel at the sign of any minor transgression is palpable. The fact that real world equivalents like credit scores and Sesame Credits exist honestly helps make it the most horrific vision of the future alongside 15 Million Merits.
I honestly don't get where the naysayers are coming from. This Nosedive is what Black Mirror is all about.
People being way too constrained about what Black Mirror should be. As far as I'm concerned if they're telling ANY story involving society and technology then it's fair game. And tbh it was a far scarier horror story than the other 2 episodes that followed.
and yeah Nosedive definitely is the best looking episode (of the 4 i've seen so far, or all of Black Mirror easy). Helps that Joe Wright directed it, he's made plenty of amazing looking films.
