Black Mirror Season 7 Has a Release Date—and a Chilling First Look

8 comments

I don't think I can stomach watching any Black Mirror, to be honest, given how messed up actual reality is.
- At some point historians might view it as a utopian anthology.
Isn't reality already a Black Mirror episode?
- That was actually the reason why Charlie Brooker, who wrote every episode, went on a hiatus when Corona started.
  
  Reminds me of Tom Lehrer, he effectively retired when Henry Kissinger was awarded a Nobel peace prize.
I stopped watching at some point because I felt that the point of Black Mirror, which was, originally, in my opinion, to create a debate and make you think and reflect on how technology can change everything... Turned into typical, empty scifi dramas.
- I totally agree. Season 1 and season 2 were the apex of the series - exactly for the reasons you mentioned.
  Season 3 and 4 lost a lot of the magic. Season 5 and beyond, I've cherry picked a few episodes and always ended up asking myself "meh, why did I watch this?" I expect nothing more from the upcoming season.
  I really wonder if they just ran out of innovative ideas.
  
  i just realized i never watched season 6. and reading the episode summaries on wikipedia, i dont think i will
