Cuando los fans ocasionales intentan describir Black Mirror, la serie futurista y escéptica de Charlie Brooker, a menudo aparece una palabra como “tecnofóbica”. Pero no siempre es el caso: si hay un principio unificador a lo largo de la serie, es que a Brooker le preocupan más los humanos falibles detrás de los aparatos y artilugios de ciencia ficción. A veces, estos humanos vuelan demasiado cerca del sol en busca de una grandeza aumentada por la tecnología.

As she fled a client’s house in the sleepy beachfront community of Oak Beach, Long Island, she told the operator that someone was “after her” and that “they” were trying to kill her.

Contains spoilers for The White Lotus season three finaleIn a mediocre third season mostly about the perils of toxic masculinity, it was the women who stood out in The White Lotus.

Netflix’s new true crime docuseries, Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, details the harrowing serial murders of young women in Long Island between 1993 and 2010. Their bodies were discovered along Gilgo Beach in 2010 and 2011. Despite the victims’ families best efforts to draw attention to the case, it remained unsolved for decades — in part because of law enforcement and the media’s discriminatory attitude towards the victims, owing to their line of work selling sex.
