Meanwhile, Ashley’s own life begins to come apart at the seams. From the moment he was introduced on, this episode had me on the edge of my seat.ĪBOUT: An introverted teen fixates on an AI inspired by Ashley O, her favorite popstar. And Topher Grace was amazing in his role as a beaten down technology developer. The second half of this episode makes it more than worth watching. What an incredible realization for those of us that use our phones constantly. I wasn’t sure where it was going for a while, but when it finally made it there, I was here for it. If I am being totally honest, this episode dragged a little bit for me.
This was my least favorite episode of the season, but I still enjoyed it.ĪBOUT: A London-based driver captures a social media mogul, sparking an international state of emergency. I could totally relate to getting sucked in to a video and playing all night with a friend – but I could not relate to what was about to happen.Įven though it gets weird – it is worth watching. You might know this already, but I love Anthony Mackie ( I am a bit of a Marvel buff) so I was excited to see him star in one of the new Black Mirror episodes. This episode is CRAZY! I had no idea what direction it was going to go in – and when I figured it out – I was shocked. However, something unexpected comes out of their nighttime escapades. I will say that my favorite episode of Black Mirror is now one from Season 5!ĪBOUT: College pals Danny and Karl reunite in a virtual reality session of their favorite game. I do like that they are stand alone episodes, so I can watch them out of order if I wish to. Well, this was kind of a call back to season one, which also had only three episodes.
I have to admit, I was disappointed to see that there were only three episodes in Black Mirror season 5. I ranked all the Black Mirror episodes, if you want to check that out. Even my least favorite episode, is one I would watch again. When I learned that Black Mirror was coming back for a fifth season, I was ecstatic! It is one of my favorite Netflix shows.
