well that was an interesting way to end the season. Kinda felt like a series finale honestly. I'm pretty mixed on it
Liked the guy playing the villain, he was creepy af. The doctor story was probably the best vignette, I was cringing so hard at that self-harm scene. The monkey one was alright but mostly just for the reveal in the present that she was still in there
Main problem I had with it though is I really don't get why they're so insistent on linking all the Black Mirror episodes together now. An easter egg/passing reference here and there is one thing, but I don't see why it's necessary for them to ACTUALLY all be part of one universe. Part of the appeal of the separate stories is exploring different ways that the world can head towards a dangerous place and exploring the ramifications of those individual ideas. If the world has all these things happening at once it just feels like an unfocused/convoluted mess really
More minor, but the reveal of the mother inside her head at the end was super corny. And in general, I think they're becoming way too reliant on the whole digital copy trope at this point. Almost every episode this season used that, on top of all the other times they've used that before
EHH! | that was actually the first movie that came to mind for me too (: |
