Abstract

Crime and justice have long been enduring subjects of Black Mirror (2011–). From the opening episode, the series has never shied away from tackling taboo subjects. However, “Shut Up and Dance” draws viewers into a deeper engagement with the moral issues of criminality by encouraging audiences to empathise with a character who, in the episode’s denouement, is revealed to be a paedophile. Given that, in Western culture, the term paedophilia carries with it immense ideological freight (Kohm & Greenhill, 2011, p. 195), this revelation forces the viewer to revaluate their own affective and intellectual responses to, and judgements of, the central character. By aligning the viewer with Kenny (Alex Lawther), this episode ridicules the very possibility of passing moral judgement, and the viewers’ own sympathy for him may itself serve a larger purpose. In this chapter, I will consider how connecting audiences to such characters at an emotional level may critique deeply held and widely circulated popular ideas about the crime and justice.

In this chapter, I am focusing specifically on Britain and the United States due to the affinities between the two countries in terms of their regulation and treatment of sex offenders.
