Black Mirror - Yay! Netflix

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The chick sniping the dude in the car, with the hostage. Seemed like a really bad shot, but she took it anyway.

I think the moral of the story is... life goes on, and no one cares. Literally everyone involved with the situation went on with their lives without pause, and nothing changed. That we saw. Because we don't know what happened with the sniper.

That's an interesting take. I'd have to watch it over to agree or disagree.

If my memory is correct, I thought it was a statement about how corporations and their technology are taking all the power away from everyone else. They were shown to have more power than the authorities and it resulted in someone being killed.

With the additional notion of it exceeding the scope of the creator, and being out of his control, with an undercurrent of just wait until AI takes over those companies.

I'm assuming this is Boston Dynamics, but it looks like Black Mirror S4Ep5.

It has been a loooong time since I was excited to watch something on Netflix.
