When you consider how much Joan's behavior was exaggerated in the Salma Hayek version it makes you wonder how much they exaggerated the Annie Murphy version compared to Source Joan

“Joan Is Awful” was the most interesting BM S06 episode that I enjoyed. It was definitely “black mirror”-ish content. Made me remember the older episodes.

It's so stupid. This entire episode made me roll my eyes. If anyone in a streaming service put such terms and conditions you can still sue them. If a company does something illegal they can still be sued, because the law always is above such agreements, if anything that is illegal done by a company, contract or not they can still be sued so the lawyer saying they got this water tight is so stupid. I absolutely disliked the episode.

​@@JKRowl Exactly. That's why the fine prints should be read first regardless of whatever a person has or wants to sign. It doesn't matter how long or how many pages the documents are always read it first.

I kinda thought twist was gonna be that the entire thing was some kind of simulation that her therapist had put her through to help with her mental health. Like she said she didn’t feel like the main character of her own life, so the simulation showed her what that would be like. I guess that’s kinda played out at this stage with Black Mirror though so I’m glad it wasn’t actually that.

Some people were not fans of how Salma Hayek was depicted, but I think it completely makes sense that it wasn't actually her. It was just how AI conceptualizes her, with all those random spanish words thrown around and those funny curses. Like when she calls herself "a dyslexic talented actress with questionable English" definitely sounds like a robot or something.

It was entertaining, as a comedy horror on its own it could be really good but as a huge Black Mirror fan it was very disappointing and silly to me in that context I can't express my disappointment with the whole season minus Loch Henry which could have been great and Beyond the Sea which didn't fit in the middle of this season at all

This episode felt the most true to its roots in the Black Mirror universe. I can't get enough of these social commentary tech horror nightmares. A lot of the episodes this season weren't that and it disappointing to me personally. Good season overall though.

One part in the ep that got me thinking.. the scene where michael cera shows up and explains to joan (annie murphy) about how the world they live in is simulated by AI based off source Joan -- what conversation was happening in real life? 😮

That moment where annie murphy's joan says "I've already made the decision in real life" about breaking the quamputer .. was that the Ai having a mind of its own? 😊😊

i think it also makes a point about how negative we as a society are. i mean, its nothing we can rlly blame anybody for. theres a reason why dramas, literally just being drama, appeal to us so much. we obsess over what's negative too much often, and that's jus kinda how it is

I think it's caused by our brains being kind of problem-solving machines. If everything is just ok, no conflict, no flaws, no challenges, there's nothing to do, nothing to think about, nothing to solve. Why would we watch it?

For some reason I'm hoping they make an episode for Sea of Tranquility, just to give the fictional show more background 😅🥰 Great video bryce!!!

Yes, that would be so cool. Like in Bojack Horseman, netflix made a separate episode for the show the lead used to star in.

I’m honestly shocked I haven’t seen Beyond the Sea in this list yet. Not so much about Mazey Day and Demon 79 (even if you mention Michael Smart), but really shocked about that episode not popping up yet. I remember watching it and thinking “I can’t wait to see his review on this”

This episode showed how no matter what you do, feel or think people are gonna think and feel what they want and take it how they want…

What I can’t figure out is why nobody else is freaking out like Annie-Joan was. Like everybody was so cool about it. Mainly the assistant. Like why he ain’t flip out and try to find source assistant? Why wasn’t Krish curious about source Krish?

Always get so excited to see your black mirror videos 🤩🤩

The very fact that a part of the SAG strike is how they want to pay background actors for one day of work and use their likeness in other works, just proves this can happen. That's the craziness of Black Mirror that it takes ideas that are very real, maybe enhances it but still it's not that far off

Does anybody else remember that Netflix subtly changed their loading screen from an N to an S when this season came out? It was only for the first day I think

Another easter egg is when Annie Murphy tells Salma Hayek « you are Salma Hayek » and she answers « thank you », like that famous meme « you are Beyoncé - thank you »

Hey! Firstly, I love this channel. Secondly, I wonder if you've ever come across "inside no. 9"? it's a similar premise to Black Mirror (horror/drama anthology series) created by and starring British actors Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith. I think it has several seasons now, episodes are on average 20-25 minutes and some focus more on paranormal or psychological issues than sci fi and technology but it is absolutely incredible and you might enjoy it, especially as newer seasons of black mirror haven't exactly lived up to the earlier seasons

The most awaited ending explained!

Interesting how the phone is now 7G. Great video as usual.

Joan could absolutely settle out of court if she makes a case against Streamberry. There are so many lawyers who'd take on a case like this. It's got everything: manipulative terms, exploitation, HIPAA violations, weaponized privacy and tracking... Hell, just call up the DoD and say, "I sure hope you don't have any service members with a Streamberry subscription," and the government would probably intervene on Joan's behalf.

it's really minor but it drives me crazy that this ep was set basically in the present but they still included easter eggs from events could/would not have happened yet in the black mirror universe.

I feel like we underplay how much we do to protect our privacy, especially in Europe.

I loved how each episode takes on a different timezone, character, and a different society class for each person. Very interesting indeed.

if someone ask me how i feel and i don't feel good i will say "what i feel after finishing a Black Mirror ep" love your videos analysing Black Mirror😊 i happy there more eps but i cannt watch more then 1 ep per 1-2 weeks

Honey wake up, Bryce dropped another Black Mirror analysis!!

You left out an important detail, at the end of the episode when Joan is in a cafe you can see a restraint monitor on her ankle

In reference to the “shows”. The dog is a Yorkie. Yorkie was the main character in San Junipero.

2:57 that’s nida from demon 79 playing a sea of tranquility fan

Do Beyond the sea next, it is my fave episode of season 6

I know you don't do any animes, but I would REALLY like you to break down The Promised Neverland.

15:15 You did not! lol Sir, you have a whole youtube channel they can use 😳😂

I loved the episode but I wouldn't say the core logic holds up, especially in terms of this ever being a real thing once the technology is available. According to the Streamberry CEO, the goal is to create a show so highly personalized to that individual user that they're guaranteed to stay subscribed - they're not trying to use Joan's data against her just to piss her off. While Joan is unique because they're testing it on her, the goal is to roll it out to all users and it's very easy to conclude that once it did, users would simply cancel their subscriptions (and most importantly, almost nobody would subscribe going forward). Of course the terms of service might still allow the company to keep the show on in perpetuity, but there would be little financial incentive to hurt the brand by doing that when the vast majority of users would still only be interested in their own shows anyway. I can totally see AI very soon being in a state where it could write and render a full season of a show based on someone's data the app collected, but realistically it would be a lot simpler and safer for the company to make the show privately viewable by default (and maybe allow choices of what portions of their life can be used in the show, etc.). It would be a very successful novelty with none of the hassle brought upon by forcefully exposing the data like in the episode.

7g on her phone?

Do people often feel like the main character of their own life? Honest question

It is just meta chaff
