We’ve been following the Netflix anthology series Black Mirror since the beginning. She has created small masterpieces over the years that have left an indelible mark on our memories. Even the very first, the national anthem, sent goosebumps down your spine. White Christmas (special episode), Nosedive (Season 3) and USS Callister (Season 4) are among our favorites.
Season 6 landed on Netflix a few days ago, and it’s not as extraordinary as we’d hoped. We’re more into horror than sci-fi, an area where the series generally excels. In Black Mirror situations often arise where technology has gone wrong. This time, only two of the five episodes go in that direction. The other three are pretty standard horror thrillers.
We still ranked them from worst to best.
5TH MAZEY DAY
The paparazzi bestiality of early 2000s Hollywood proved a fruitful starting point. Unfortunately, everything goes completely wrong in the end and leaves a bitter aftertaste. The last shot remains striking.
4. HOLE HENRY
Again, the theme – true crime – wasn’t bad, but the direction chosen proves controversial, if surprising.
3. DEMON 79
This story of an ordinary young woman who is forced to murder three people to prevent nuclear war is quite gripping and the art direction is impeccable. On the other hand, it’s the lack of originality that outshines him in the middle of the peloton.
2. BEYOND THE SEA
Starring Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett, this sci-fi thriller gets closer to what we love about Black Mirror. Fear, emotion, madness, spirit, everything is there. At 80 minutes, it is the longest episode of the season.
1. JOAN IS TERRIBLE
Since we’ve all accepted the rules of a streaming service without reading them, we can all relate a little to the character of Joan. In addition, a provocative layer of black humor completes the thriller. Netflix makes fun of itself, and we like its bravery.
