Nosedive is the first chapter in the third season of the series Black Mirror. Series that are about possible futures caused by the modern technologies.
Directed by Joe wright, the chapter is written by Rashida Jones, Michael Schur and Charlie Brooker. Nosedive is also based on one of the Brooker story series.
This chapter shows a society where people score each other by looking their social networks with their mobile advices. The highest mark is 5, and people that have high marks have advantages over people with low marks, and also are more popular.
The main character is Lacie Pound (Bryce Dallas Howard), a girl that as most of the people is obsessed with her score. Then her “supposed best childhood school”, Naomi, invite Lacie at her wedding, where the invited people are over 4.4. The problems start when the trip doesn’t start as she planned.
The best thing about Nosedive is that shows perfectly how much the society is obsessed with social media and the popularity. Also, for being accepted and included in these fake and superficial world.
What I loved the most is Naomi’s personality; it’s very well-acted. She is the typical popular and beautiful blondie. However, normally if someone is humiliated this one won’t continue doing something that could make the situation worst. This is something that I can’t understand. If she hadn’t gone to the wedding, her score wouldn’t have become as low.
I only have one criticism, which is that the chapter is a little bit longer or what wants to show, so I think it could be shorter.
In my opinion Nosedive isn’t the best chapter in the series, there are more which are better than this one. Despite that, the chapter is well-thought and the critic behind the chapter is good. I recommend it to the people that like futurist series that have critic messages behind. Nevertheless, if the chapter were shorter, I would recommend it more.
