I’ve only seen one episode, the San Junipero one. I can’t wait to watch the rest. I do love some cozy, optimistic sci-fi.
Well, as others have said, Black Mirror is definitely not cozy/optimistic. In my opinion, it's easy to miss the final point of San Junipero. You have to have watched the episode White Christmas. If you've seen that episode, you know what cookies are and you know that there is an implication in the last seconds of San Junipero that, in my opinion, is pretty dark.
Still the best fucking episode though.
Oh honey.
That's only that episode. That episode is an outlier
The rest of the show is pessimistic dystopia at best.
There are a few that are not.
spoiler
Oh I hadn't seen those, good to know!
But you are right, those are definitely outliers. If an episode seems like it is a feel good romp, there is usually some dark existential twist just around the corner.
Cozy and optimistic is an interesting way to describe that show...
(Edit: I looked up which episode that was, and now your comment makes more sense. Its been a while since I watched black mirror and I kind of forgot any of them had happy endings.)
