Are this season’s dystopian nightmares worth watching? Find out in the One of Us crew’s Black Mirror Season 6 review.
Black Mirror returns with it’s sixth installment and five new entries into the anthology series. If you’re unaware of this series, it is a collection of stand alone episodes that explore a variety of genres, but mostly set in not-too-distant future dystopias. The episodes explore technology and our relationship with it. It’s a modern Twilight Zone, with the occasional splash of Tales From the Crypt, and is the wonderful sort of sci-fi that uses the theme of technology and media to comment on contemporary social issues. The eponymous Black Mirror refers to the screens we live our entire lives through, our phones, computers, and TVs, whatever it is you are currently looking at to read this very post.
