Review | Disturbing, absolutely brilliant..

(kind of a spoiler alert..)

Black mirror is an anthology series that revolves around a group of people’s personal lives and how technology manipulates their behaviour, mainly criticizing in its depth controversial edgy topics.

For the last couple of years I’ve always thought that Black Mirror is one of the most brilliant series ever, truly outstanding with its plot twists. The acting and creativity are beyond mind-blowing, also, the fact that every episode is independant and unique yet criticizes the same absurd society we’re living in. The great filming, directing, and of course the script are absolutely mastered. To me this series is perfectly twisted. Each episode is extremely haunting.
Frankly, I don’t think Black Mirror would appeal to everyone because some themes are slightly « frowned upon ». So far the actors that have been cast have done an amazing job, and the writers have managed to make some far fetched ideas seem graspable.
The fact that it treats how much technology has affected the society and individuals’ behaviours is dark in a way that’ll leave you wondering how blind and clueless we can be because the stories in Black Mirror are extremely « what if » situations examining worse case scenarios.
And you know if an episode did good you’ll just want to sit back quietly and be like « I don’t want to ever betray this series » (that’s actually what I do).

And for me one of the greatest episodes is Black Museum. I personally think that it was mastered in a non expected way. The ending had a satisfying twist when the main character ‘Nish’ who seems to be the fly but turns out to be the spider afterwards (I just don’t want to ruin the mysterious aura with so many details..sorry).

In addition, I would’ve loved it if ‘Hated In The Nation’ episode had a closure, like it just saddens me the fact that that episode was flowy and just kept me on the edge of my seat (literally) only to be shocked by the stupid open ending, maybe it was just because I’ve never loved open endings..

Basically, this series is unlike anything else on TV and for that it gets a big thumbs up from me overall.
