I’m not sure what to make of what I read. There are deeper meanings and themes I need to ponder on, but it was interesting nonetheless.
I like how it’s a casual sci-fi that didn’t lean on the explanations behind everything and just took you along on the story. There’s also this exploration about the eerie obsession we have with murders and true crime and I like how it looks at it from a different perspective; as if the victims came back from death and what that meant for them to be seen as “famous” victims while they also get readjusted to their lives after their murder. They’re not the same person they once were that’s for sure.
Can you imagine this as an episode of Black Mirror? I could.
