'Black' History Month: Hated in the Nation (Black Mirror)

It is that Month again and it is time to cover the *Netflix* Episodes of the British Show about how bad technology can be.

If you are reading this on your phone, then, well, you don't seem to get it...

In 'Hated in the Nation,' we begin with a woman giving testimony before the House of Lords.

It's like Congress, but they act belligerent, cut Healthcare and get very little done.  Wait...

We are then taken back to what led to these Hearings...

A controversial Newspaper Writer dies a violent death after trending on legally-distinct-from-Twitter.

Can a world-weary Detective and a younger Tech-friendly Officer solve the case?

What does this have to do with the fact that the UK has replaced its Bee Population with complex Bee Drones?

It's Black Mirror, so...yeah.

Can Double Wong (his name is Wong and he played 'Wong') solve the case?

Can one of these have a happy Ending?

To find out, stream it on Netflix.  I mean, you all have it anyhow...

A harsh, but effective Episode.  This is not one to watch if you're hoping to feel better in your day.  It's not the darkest Episode ever, but it's not cheery.  That said, I liked it quite a bit.  The Acting is good.  The Writing is good.  Hell, even the CG Bees look good.  The Plot flows nicely, even if I figured out the first twist right away.  I'm just super-smart- it's a curse.  All joking aside, they build things up nicely and I haven't been this excited about a Plot involving Bees since The X-Files.  After a long time away, I'm happy to return to the Show if they all end up like this.  Oh and...Bees- my God!

An Episode that packs some good twists and turns.  It sure isn't upbeat, but has a good message (like most of these Episodes).
