Since its debut in 2011, Black Mirror has been stirring up discussion with its eerie dystopian themes that take viewers on an emotional rollercoaster. The anthology series is known for its thought-provoking and boundary-pushing episodes that delve into the dark aspects of technology and society. However, not all seasons have been equally well-received.
This prompted a curious Netflix fan to seek opinions on Reddit about the latest season, questioning its quality and asking if it's worth watching. Their post read: "Is the new Black Mirror season any good? The last maybe like two seasons have been kinda hit or miss (maybe more miss honestly), and strangely, I haven't heard almost anything about the new season at all, good or bad. "Doesn't anyone have any strong opinions on it? Should I give it a shot, or maybe not?" Reddit users didn't hesitate to offer their views on the new season and whether they'd recommend tuning in.
One user commented: "I found it much better than seasons 5 (which was barely a season, let's be honest) and 6. There were two episodes I didn't love, two I did, but overall I enjoyed it and can say it felt for the most part a lot closer to Black Mirror to me. "Plus, what a surprise on that cast! I went in blind, so I had no idea who was making appearances.
Just watch it." Another chimed in with: "I really liked the first episode. It makes you feel different emotions".
One person reflected: "Agreed...
that episode had me thinking for days..it was sad and honestly something that could happen to anyone.
" A dedicated Black Mirror viewer observed after binge-watching the series: "I really quite liked all of them, this was one of the best seasons yet for me. "Plaything's my personal favourite from the lot, Hotel Reverie is probably the worst, but I think that's less of a matter of it being bad and more so disappointing to think about how better it could have been with a different lead. I didn't like Issa Rae's performance very much".
Another individual commented: "Better than the last two seasons for sure. The thing I noticed about this season is that there doesn't seem to be a definitive episode that everyone agrees on that is the best." They continued to explain: "You either like some episodes or you don't, based on your preferences," highlighting the differing opinions among fans.
Adding to the conversation, they noted: "The first one is very sad". Elaborating on their view, they shared: "To me, it's unfair to place that in the best of list because it's just a different genre compared to the rest. I'm not a crier, but I cried, so it's very, very good.
" Detailing their rundown of the season, they said: "Episode two is my fave, and episode three is my second best. Four is intriguing to me, but meh. Five is boring in my opinion.
"Six is a follow-up to a previous episode, which I thought was boring, but fans of that episode will probably like it"..
