Black Mirror is a British
science fiction TV show directed by Charlie Brooker in which each chapter is different, just like the
characters.
Nosedive is the first
chapter of the third season of Black Mirror. The chapter tells the story of a woman who,
in a supposed world in which social status depends on networks, tries to raise
her level of popularity to be able to access a discount for what was going to be
her new home, which had a very high cost. With this, she ends up leaving her
friends aside in order to surround herself with popular people in order to
increase her level of popularity. In the end she ends up realizing that the
friends she had made did not want her, but just like her they wanted to gain
popularity.
What I like best is the fact that people was
friendly with her when she had a good score in social media but didn’t when she
had a bad score shows how this world works. When someone has money and a good
social status the people are nice to them and when they don’t the people are
mean and treat them worse.
In conclusion, it is a
good chapter and holds the spectator’s attention until the end. I find it imaginative because expresses a possible world in the near future, and whose end
is predictable but at the same time intriguing. I definitely recommend it!
