What kind of person write crap like this? There's a lot wrong with this episode and I'm not even talking about the new route of Black Mirror, I mean the childish plot, the pro migrant message and then showing a migrant committing murders therefore reinforcing the discourse, the exaggeration of racism in the UK one of the most inclusive countries in the world, every character is full of stereotypes and canned behavior, really bad writing!. Netflix is becoming trash by the second.

Yeah it kind of seems like lazy pandering to the wine mom crowd, especially that true crime riffing in loch henry
If you’re thrown off by this episode and the obvious fact that it doesn’t align with the Black Mirror mentality, Google “Red Mirror” and read what Charlie Brooker has to say.
This was a solid episode with great performances. You’re allowed to appreciate the story regardless of the box it’s apparently supposed to fit in.

There’s just nothing to appreciate here
BLACK MIRROR JUST GOT ESOTERIC!!
I would argue over half of this latest season explores the supernatural from demons to folklore and (black) magic, which the show has never explored before from my memory (this binge has made me want to rewatch a lot of the episodes though). In fact, the first and second seasons are almost the antithesis of this sort of thing where it would centre around politics or would only blame humans for things like greed, envy or lust barely realising at the time that these are labelled as deadly sins in the Bible for a reason. I'm willing to bet that Charlie Brooker has had a mindset shift about the world since 2011 - as have I and so many others.
This final episode certainly rids any subtlety that may have been had with exploring demonic possession but this honestly makes it the most hilarious Black Mirror has ever been - I laughed countless times at Paapa Essiedu's perfect performance.It's already proven (from reviews I've read in the last two days) that much of the audience are reminiscing over the days where the show would only talk about technology but I personally loved the direction it's gone in for undoubtedly its best season since s3. Joan is Awful and especially Mazey Day were mid but both still had a super likeable element to them. The other three episodes, including this one, were fucking killer!
Charlie Brooker said "let's try live action South Park for 2023" and I'm all here for it.

Really? It’s saying nothing new, nor remotely thought provoking. This season was shallow, and I find it ironic you’d call this esoteric when it’s been pegging the most mainstream ideas ever. Woah true crime bad?! Le demons?! WEREWOLVES?! Such deep seated knowledge, truly some very forbidden niche ponderings.

Everything is perfect about this except the narration, whose idea was it to have one dude narrate every character, including female ones?
Aside from this major caveat, everything was perfect, the animation was great, the soundtrack really conveyed the feelings of each scene, if they only had hired an actual cast to perform this like a radio play it would've made a whole lot of difference.
Needless to say, this isn't the perfect way to experience the novel if you haven't read it before, I strongly recommend picking it up and giving it a read.loading replies
I thought the first female character was just trans at first :sweat_smile:
