Black Mirror: Smithereens (2019)
Episode 2, Season 5
The subtext here is amazing

First, the acting was superb, Scott killed it! But I can't get over the subtext: the woman who wants to know why her daughter killed herself mirrors how the viewers and the final characters checking their phones want to know who got shot.
SM addiction is very real and has caused some highly regrettable incidents, but like the characters checking their phones & immediately moving on, so do we the viewers, it matters to each individual as much as they let it. Like the mother to her daughter (very much) & the strangers getting updates on their phones (very little).
