I found the arc of his love interest (Jessica Brown Findlay according to Google) to be even more depressing than him selling out.

Seeing her drugged up (I had completely forgotten about the "Cuppliance" drug they forced on her before going on stage) in the porn ads was heartbreaking.

And on top of all of that, being forced to watch them because he gave up all of his credits. Before he sold out of course. And what did he sell out for? A slightly bigger flat with a TV screen that looks like a window. Cool.

I've never seen Newswipe or Screenwipe, but I'll have to check them out. I've enjoyed everything I've seen from Brooker.
