This is my opinion. Black Mirror is not for everyone.
The National Anthem was a great start for the series. Without any expectations, I was completely shocked by the unique story.
To get straight to the point however, I really appreciated how this episode put sneaky emphasis on the human condition. Despite all the chaotic scenes between the main characters, the main focus- to me- was the fictional audience that gathered and anticipated for the shame and cruelty. That was the punch of the episode. It makes you walk away from the t.v. and ponder on how we as a whole really are wicked.
Sure, I aim to be entertained. But it's a rare feeling to look at the world in a different perspective after a show. Black Mirror does just that. I recommend if you have time, keep watching!
