A story about someone killing off influencers.
Well, much like the Weakest Link episode from the revived series I can already predict that this’ll become dated in less than a decade.

I’m pretty sure they’ll be post Stranded by the end of this series. At least the last episode of the newly released set references the pandemic and the synopsis for the last episode of Among Us 2 refers to self-testing kits being used over the last two years so the series is seemingly jumping ahead to 2022/23. |

Ah that's a shame. I thought they might have the return of Jack for the final part. Have fun guys, this one isn't for me.

I think you would have to be extremely optimistic to think that Barrowman is ever working for BF again at this stage.

Ah, that makes sense. I haven't listened to the last one yet. Literally just finished Misty Eyes, and neither of the preceding ones gave any idea of time-frame.

Spoilers follow ...
"From 'X' to 'ex'."
7.9 How I Conquered the World by Tim Foley, Ash Darby and James Goss.
Mia Hope's synthesised voice for 'Friend' is a wonderful mix of irritatingly cutesy ("I am working sooooi hard to make everyone happy,") and child-like. The idea of 'Friend' is excellent: a kind of Facebook/Twitter's saccharine younger sibling, one with a child's naivety and petulance. It's an interesting combination, and more than a little unsettling. I suppose the notion makes me happy-angry. So much of it is excellent - the robotic voices mis-inflections when delivering important messages is genuinely hilarious. So much of it is bitingly accurate, exploring a future that might already be here. So what happens when Social Media gets left behind? If it feels ... wronged? All it can do is observe human behaviours through it's own rhetoric. The results are incredibly well observed. A broadband Frankenstein's Monster, but whereas the mishappen creature learned to hate humankind, 'Friend' targets Torchwood. Well, it would, wouldn't it? Slightly one-note this maybe, the overall style unchanging and proving to be a bit much at times, this is nevertheless a terrific and thought-provoking opener to this finale set of the series.
