BLACK MIRROR SEASON 7 REVIEW
Season Seven of Charlie Brooker’s ongoing dystopian sci-fi anthology series returns with six new episodes and not only a slew of callbacks to some of the best episodes of the past 11 years of the series but also a full-length sequel film to the acclaimed USS Callister. These six episodes explore everything from the shattered and broken health care system, subscription based gaming and endless subscription updates on streaming services (It’s quite amusing how much Brooker mocks the show’s daddy Netflix straight to their digital face), the heartbreak of memories and the lies we tell ourselves, the best/worst case scenario for remaking Casablanca, and the cutthroat world of chocolatiers. This season also brings with it performances from Rashid Jones, Chris O’Dowd, Peter Capaldi, Emma Corrin, Issa Rae, Cristin Milioti, and Paul Giamatti. Sarah Jane and T.C. share their thoughts on the season are while gluttons for punishment who have seen every episode, they were happy to not be as punished by Brooker’s bleek look at the not-too-distant-future.
