It's even better now after Donald Trump won the election. This is why democracy is flawed, in a nutshell.
I realized today though that it probably was based on Triump the Insult Comic Dog. Brilliant episode in every way, hands down.
I enjoyed it, also.
Although the satire part was good, it was the pathos of Jamie that sold it for me. He just couldn't handle the whole situation. It was sad the way he fell apart.
Except that Waldo wasn't one of the richest men on Earth, whose buildings stand all over the world.
shareIn the election people voted for Harambe and Cthulhu was running too. Pretty realistic I would say.
shareWhat was going on during the credits? Waldo won election in China or something?
I'll pump her full of motley seed, until she pops out a little me! -Shagwell
I figured it was some sort of world domination scenario. Remember when the guy from the CIA went to have a chat with Jamie and his manager? He starts talking about Waldo would be great as a power figure in many countries because it's not possible to hold him against any political view and he can work as a free agent.
shareYou are close to the truth. He became government agent, distracts people from real problems and used for marketing.
shareI guess I shouldn't be surprised that all of the smart people are on the Black Mirror boards.

I am American and still reeling from our devastating election, so I couldn't bring myself to watch this episode. I watched about 10 minutes and when I realized where it was headed, I had to stop. This is the only episode I haven't watched. Maybe someday!
