The way it's filmed can also be inventive: in "Nosedive" it's all in pastel colours, and in "Metalhead" it's entirely black and white.There's even a film called Black Mirror: Bandersnatch which is a "choose your own adventure" movie, a unique take on the movie medium.Despite being science fiction, some episodes can really happen in real life, such as the episode "Shut Up and Dance".Amazing acting, sets, and cinematography.Genre fluidity: the show experiments with different genres such as horror ( Playtest), military science-fiction ( Men Against Fire), political drama ( The Waldo Moment) and romantic comedy ( Hang the DJ), meaning there's something for everyone.
The episodes are standalone, meaning you can watch them in any order you like. Each episode deals with technology and how it affects society. It not only holds the viewer's attention while it plays, it enthralls your thoughts long after the credits roll. The thought provoking subject matter combine with powerful, desolate stories and excellent performances to create one of the most unique and brilliant shows that I have seen. Watching it was an exhausting experience that shook me deeply. Let me be clear, it will not leave you feeling fulfilled. It unflinchingly explores the issues of society through deeply intimate stories and characters and their interactions with technology. Black Mirror is disturbing in the best possible way. The second episode in particular is storytelling of the highest form. The episodes may be watched in any order, as they are all completely independent of one another. The presence of bestiality in the first episode could very well deter some viewers, but I would remind them that the show is Twilight Zone-esque in structure as well as theme. Although this is obviously the intent, one cannot help but wonder at the creators' bleak outlook on the world. This show is not for those looking exclusively for entertainment, as the episodes leave you with a distinctly empty feeling. The stories are compelling and the acting is phenomenal. Each self-contained episode is brilliantly crafted and produced. The black mirror is the screen that rules our lives. This is done through the theme of technology, hence the second meaning. The first interpretation is that the show looks inwards, at the darker aspects of humanity and society. The double entendre that is Black Mirror's name summarizes the show perfectly.
