Black Mirror

I hadn't watched any Black Mirror for a few seasons. I've been watching this new season on my other monitor while gaming, and I really enjoyed every episode, though some more than others. Anyway, I finished episode 5 and episode 6 started playing. I was like, holy shit, this isn't very good. An hour+ about two maybe gay dudes having video game sex? I came here and I was shocked that nobody was talking about the shitty episode 6.

So I went back to Netflix and realized it had started to play season 5 after finishing season 6 without telling me. God damn it, Netflix.

Also, they were the prototype fake band for the svengali behind Mili Vanili.

I have high expectations for this series so this was very disappointing. I didn't watch the previous season because it seemed very bad.
This one was just entertaining enough to watch but all 5 episodes, even those where the original idea was good, had poor execution, nowhere near the quality of the best episodes of Black Mirror. They focus too much on doing fan service and rely on star power to carry the episode instead of a twisted mind bending plot carried to a good conclusion. The episodes with a good premise didn't have a satistfiying story play out and left me thinking of the many ways the story could've been better with such technology. That wasn't the case for the 1st 4 seasons.


The final episode was pure trash and just follows many other recent works where being "racist" is the greatest crime possible that deserves the worst kinds of death and "it's ok to punch a nazi". All wypeepo are racists so of course the poor Indian girl would develop homicidal thoughts. The moderate right candidate is of course just hiding his real nazi agenda so the Indian who was so conflicted about murder becomes so determined to kill him, even the demon can't stop her. I was watching this and couldn't believe how Charlie Booker who didn't show any sign of such lunacy before would come up with this overt political attack but it all made sense when the credits rolled. The episode is co-written by a certain Bisha K. Ali who is the head writer of Ms. Marvel. Still shame on ayone who allowed this garbage to be associated with what was a great series mainly before Netflix.

Hold on, so Boney M were basically just a lip-sync band?

Like, a bunch of German people writing/producing/singing while the actual front-band pretended to act it out?

At least the purported leader of the group has charisma and moves.

returning 2025 with 6 episodes, one of them will be a sequel to the Star Trek one. More Todd!

I don’t have high hopes for the next season. Show has been pretty bad since it started being made in the US.
