The technology is not the evil, it’s the facilitator. JONES: It’s much more about the human drama, the human story. Our stories tend to be primarily human stories about a dilemma, in which the technology often facilitates a character’s downfall. I’m not like Statler and Waldorf, shaking a fist at the App Store. We don’t tend to be about evil corporations or evil gizmos. Will you be exploring the dangers that it imposes, if you come to rely too much on it?īROOKER: I think we’re more about the side effects. So much of this show is steeped in how technology can ruin our lives. I love games and technology, and all of that kind of stuff. I find it amusing when I’ve read critiques of this show that have said, “Who is this angry guy that’s furious with the internet?” But, I’m quite a dweeb. I’m often howling with laughter when I’m coming up with ideas for this show, which we then play straight. They make comments on the world, but do it in an entertaining and often sarcastic way.īROOKER: It’s interesting, in the U.K., I’m known for doing comedy things, which often doesn’t translate to the U.S. We always try to make the episodes entertaining, whether that’s thrilling you, teasing you or scaring you, but there’s always a dark humor to them, as well. JONES: There’s a variety of genre, but a consistency of tone. We have a police procedural, we have a love story, we have a thriller, and we have a domestic, grounded story.ĬHARLIE BROOKER: We’ve got a military story, we’ve got a horror romp from Dan Trachtenberg, and we’ve got a social satire from Joe Wright. Question: How have you structured this season?ĪNNABEL JONES: Now that we’re doing six episodes in the season, there’s a lot more variety across the season and we venture into different genres.
