This one definitely was odd, familiar, and unsettling - black mirror vibes - as advertised! Technology at its worst. It really made me think about how loose we are about trusting strangers on the internet, revealing so much about our lives in subtle ways. Our social media is our Kentukis in a way, giving strangers a glimpse at our personal lives free of charge. At the same time, for viewers, we are so drawn to the most mundane content (get ready with me, eat with me etc) because in a way it provides a sense of adventure and connectedness. It also made me think a lot about “sharenting” and how parents are way too comfortable sharing everything about their kids without thinking about who is on the other end watching with ill intentions. It was a little hard to keep up with all the characters and locations, that would be my only complaint!
