Black Mirror (2011– )
8/10
Review of season 6. This is not Black Mirror
25 June 2023
I think we'll all agree that this is not Black Mirror. At least it's not what it used to be.

There's nothing wrong with change from season to season, to a certain extent but what they did here was made a completely different series using the name of Black mirror.

If you are expecting to get your mind blown by the darkest side of crazy technological advances and its effects on people's lives, etc, you are going to be extremely disappointed. There's a little bit of that in the first couple of episodes (still very very light compared to previous seasons) but most episodes are more like short horror movies, and they remind me A LOT of Inside No. 9 which I'm sure they've taken some inspiration from. Where 99% of the action and twists happen in the last 1% of the episode.

Conclusion: It is well done and definitely worth watching if you like horror and dark humor but it is just way too different to deserve to be called Black Mirror anymore.
