'Black Mirror' Season 6: This Is the Most Relevant Episode
After many delays, Season 6 of Black Mirror finally premiered on Netflix, and in true Black Mirror fashion, the anthology series gets as meta as it could with the first episode of Season 6. In what would eventually be quite a daring move by Netflix, "Joan is Awful" scathingly critiques the privacy policy and content laws of its fictitious streaming platform, Streamberry, in a world where privacy in itself has been reduced to a limited notion.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Netflix, as a streaming service, is one of the few that continue to function without ads, even though its competitors like Max have a plan with ads for those who wish to save a few bucks. This core policy behind Netflix's functioning has made the giant all the more dependent on its data collection from its users as it continuously gathers data about user interests.
"Joan is Awful" Shows a Concerning Trend in Hollywood Over the past week, Disney has already faced massive criticism for its use of AI-generated art in the opening credits of its latest television offering Secret Invasion. The Writers Guild of America has already come out in opposition of extensive use of AI-generated writing in the production of films and shows, as studios try to alleviate budgetary concerns.
'Black Mirror' Maintains Its Critique of Technology The episode does not leave it at the ill effects of AI-generated content when it comes to its critique of technology. In the episode, an advanced version of Deep Fake technology is shown to be used to create reel versions of the real-life Joan and Annie Murphy.
Black Mirror has constantly come up with episodes, such as "White Christmas" and "San Junipero," that critique technology and its dangerous nature throughout seasons, but while Joan's story is not ground-breaking by any standards or remains as meta as we can expect from Black Mirror, the haunting reality behind this relatively light-hearted Black Mirror episode makes it one that's far scarier than the intentionally scary ones on this season's roster.
