Charlie Brooker’s Love Black Mirror The week’s reward, with six episodes, is full of fantasy technological advancements (and its inevitable drawbacks). Compared to Season 6, this episode is closer to the show’s sci-fi roots, and even offers the first direct sequel to the series. As a result, this part of the anthology may not be as novel and exciting as previous iterations, but some of its plots are deeply mined to dig out wealth buried in it. Black Mirror. The plot of Season 7 is from the best to the worst, first of all, the outstanding star car you don’t want to miss.

1.) Episode 3: “Hotel”

Who doesn’t like classic romance? When they tried to restore the old Hollywood success, the same was true for considering the director of the Xiawai studio Judith (Harriet Walter) and the industry disrupter Kimmy (Awkwafina) in the fresh-eye industry. hotel For today’s audience. However, instead of using the new version as a whole, they used a technology called Redream. It creates an alternative artificial reality based on existing films where actors can project themselves into the world and must adhere to some kind of film continuity standard. Her world was suddenly black and white before she was the only one able to move or speak, but she quickly swept the magic of the movie, which shocked her, which shocked her. Brandy proposes to the tragic Clara (Emma Corrin) when hitting Dr. Alex, but her growing feelings and some movie logic dances harm the whole thing.

“Hotel” hardly works. When brandy first entered the world, the episode was constantly cut into Kimmy’s control room and was chopped, and the technicians yelled “narrative integrity!” or “romantic appeal rose!” to the pace of each story. We don’t need to remind us that the dimensions of this movie are firmly rooted. It feels like being scared, and we will forget that this episode has something to do with technology. But as the story begins to fit into its own story, it becomes a Black MirrorBetter romantic efforts. Clara goes beyond her scripting nature after some narrative lapses by Brandy, and the two develop a real sense of each other. This is a spiritual sequel to the beloved “San Junipero” as the focus places the two women, their relationships and their own personal travels in this artificial reality. Corrin (who is non-binary, use them/their pronouns) does a great job as the classic British heroine, his passion and sorrow are fixed in buttons by the classroom and etiquette; Clara certainly has some shadows on their princess di crownbut they blindfolded her with another desire. While Rae isn’t a great dramatic performer, she nails the emotional swelling of this episode (especially an absolutely devastating moment that won’t be spoiled here). This couple takes you through the classics that may be, and it’s fascinating.

2.) Episode 6: “Caller: Entering Infinity”

The only one Black Mirror There are so many things to live up to in the sequel episode “Callister: In Infinity”. Originally a twist on the fantasy of male power, and the weird good guys and Uchi’s villain (memory and threatening of Jesse Plemons) feel more relevant today. But “Enter Infinity” finds the captain whose caller crew is struggling to survive. When clones plug into the game server, they shouldn’t exist, and it’s easy to achieve the goal for any of Infinity’s 30 million players. Led by fearless Captain Nanette (Cristin Milioti), the crew is snatching credibility to enhance their resources, inevitably attracting the attention of real-world people, including Nanette’s counterparts, including secretly suspicious of outside staff of her former colleagues.

“Enter Infinity” hopes you remember its predecessor well, which will hurt it. It uses frequent flashbacks to browse the most important content, but there must be some learning curve since you last watched “USS Callister”. Thankfully, the Rock Expo is mainly retained at the beginning of the episode. Things happened when IRL Nanette struggled to find the clone, partly helped by CEO Jimmi Simpson, who is now threatened by a potential company scandal. However, given that the interests of the company rarely overlap with personal well-being, both nanos find themselves struggling to find solutions. This is an episode of science fiction, where every technological innovation is linked to thoughtful themes. It sometimes makes the network too wide, but the premise of “entering infinity” is followed. And, given its functional length, it does promise to be fun to watch (yes, there is a spaceship that I believe I did hear Star Wars Screaming). It’s not as compact and cohesive as the original content, but it’s still an exciting follow-up.

3.) Episode 5: “The Eulogy”

Sometimes you just let Paul Giamatti do his thing for 45 minutes. “The Eulogy” sees the actor as Philip, himself an aging man, receiving calls with the unfortunate news – his ex-girlfriend Carol decades ago died. The call comes from a company that handles memorial services with a technological twist, and people can immerse themselves in the memories provided by the loved ones of the deceased. Despite reluctance to attend given his and Carol’s split way, Philip eventually embraced the idea of ​​traveling along the memory trail, trying to see the love he lost like those years ago. He was helped by the Memorial Company Guide (Patsy Ferran), who was willing to challenge him and his unreliable narrative of the relationship.

as far as Black Mirror The plot is gone, it’s very simple. Most of them involve Philip’s dabbling into memories he’s long discarded and with the help of photos he really defiled. He could not remember Carol’s appearance, only their first night’s haste, awe as she played the cello, which was the jealousy aroused by an interested suitor. As a conversation between Philip and the Guide, the proceedings feel like a small, sentimental work of the theater, while Giamatti makes it the gravity of the Broadway game. It becomes repetitive, some revelations are hokey, but it’s part of a bigger emotional feeling Black Mirror puzzle.

4.) Episode 1: “Ordinary People”

“Ordinary People” provide you with your advice Black Mirror Interlude; it’s high quality work, but as the opening remark of Season 7, it doesn’t bring any real surprises. This episode feels like Black MirrorThe bread and butter, have some good ideas, great cast and perfect execution. Rashida Jones and Mike (Chris O’Dowd) are a nice middle-class couple. They took a half month anniversary trip and hoped to have a happy accident in expanding everyone’s life. But when Amanda’s chronic headache turns into a life-changing health scare (in some way it’s not the only coma this season), she has to choose to enter the cutting-edge neuropathic medical service called Rivermind. As the company Rep Gaynor (Tracee Ellis Ross) explains, it’s a brainwave subscription service – Amanda can operate at (almost) full amount for just $300 a month! It’s too good to achieve, so no wonder a year later Mike and Amanda face the choice: Upgrade their subscription and pay more, or pay, or keep the standard layer, which makes Amanda sleep most of the day and offer targeted ads to those around her. “Ordinary people” happen in a world different from ourselves, the only difference is that subscriptions are for survival. With these subscriptions launching endless new levels, the show does create significant similarities with those bound by it such as medical debt and quality of life. But when the plot decides to comment on the gig economy, these threads are stuck and add a sensational subplot that never completely condenses with the rest of the story. Jones, O’Dodd and Rose are all solid, but they help with an episode, which is totally good.

5.) Episode 2: “Bête Noire”

One of the episodes in this season’s episode “BêteNoire” forces its protagonist to confront her past. Siena Kelly is a successful figure in the R&D division of a Sweets Company, fostering new ideas for hot flavors and snacks. She was comfortable and lived a stable life in every way until her familiar face when she was in school appeared at work. It’s a real person (Rosy McEwen), a nerd, viciously bullying the homeless, who seems to have made a complete turn and soon she gets a job in Maria’s department. The world started to appear to be top turkey for Maria, because it was wrong for her to keep it real for a long time (such as the name of the popular food chain, the existence of nut allergies) and she insisted that everyone around her had to get involved. So, is Maria just feeling insecure and threatening, or is it real horror, beneficial in the matter of fanaticism, gatekeeper, girl hole?

This episode plays the mysterious mystery of its Mandela effect in an interesting way, but it’s a case where the setting is more exciting than the rewards. Understandably, as her entire worldview is questioned and Maria begins to lose it, you have to doubt how deep and dark the show will be – is it about to turn into a “promise” for the collapse of Bryce Dallas Howard Howard? But “Bête Noire” jumps to the shark with its explanation and the final solution and all the real tension that the plot produces permeation.

6.) Episode 4: “Play”

Unless you are Black Mirror The faithful would laugh at the callback or the TV completionist of Peter Capaldi, and there wasn’t much “playing” to it. This episode comes from some tips in the series Bandersnatch Experiments feature return faces, such as Will Poulter’s talented game creator and Asim Chaudhry’s game company CEO, which also sets its sights on mysterious video games. In a slightly confused setting, a strange man named Cameron (Capaldi) is questioned for inquiring about the murder that happened forty years ago. When the main suspect details what his life era looks like, he reveals an unhealthy attachment to a game called The Hopn (think Tamagotchi, but if these pets are actual species that require human assistance to evolve). It soon became obvious that these digital creatures were somehow works in this unsolved puzzle, but the way and reasons of Cameron’s behavior remained.

Also obviously, this episode is stupid. It’s too easy to guess where the story goes, even if it doesn’t make that much sense. Most importantly, “playing” has nothing to say except for human nature and its population compared to the population. at this time Black Mirrorthe theme should not just boil down to “humanity is bad” or “technology is dangerous”, but this episode doesn’t offer anything else. Aside from some tactile, 90s-style photography, there aren’t many views, just a creepy horror story. If you skip it, you won’t miss it too much.
