    one of the best series you will find
    Black mirror is one outstanding series that introduces its audience to unique, interesting, problematic and worst of all terrifyingly possible visions of the future. Each episode tells a different story with a set of new characters (as an anthology does), but one main character stays the same - technology. Black mirror isn't annoying with anti-technology messages, it doesn't have the "oh, technology bad, book good" mindset, it focuses on many aspects and possibilities that technology may bring in the future, it doesn't judge, instead lets the viewers do the judgement and come to their own conclusions which was a breath of fresh air to be honest. The first and second seasons were a nice introduction to what the creators had in mind and to the message of Black Mirror. Third and fourth seasons can only be described as masterpieces. All four come with thought-provoking plots and unexpected twists. Boredom is nonexistent. Next comes the fifth season aka Black Mirror's downfall. This season brought us three episodes, they weren't necessarily bad they were very much okay but it felt like you were watching a different series entirely. The creators must have lost their initial focus. The episodes weren't filled with gore, technological advancements, ethical dilemmas, they weren't mind boggling as they once were. You didn't stare in terror or fascination. Fifth season lacked the originality and philosophy aspects that made Black Mirror remarkable. The plots were lazy, nothing crazy, each episode had a celebrity starring cause let's show our audience how much we don't care anymore, we want the money. They brought Anthony Mackie (E1), Andrew Scott (E2) and Miley Cyrus (E3) - and this is not meant to criticise the celebrities, they all did a great job -. This was a huge disappointment for me, i adored this series, i told all my friends to watch it and we discussed what we would do in those bizarre situations, my emotional friends weren't able to finish some episodes because they found them that frightening. It was amazing. And to think this series would throw all it's original initiatives for more views broke my little cinema-obsessed heart.

    Ending this prolonged review. 9 stars. Wish I could give it a 10 but I can't forgive the creators for the 5th season. They became what they once called out. Not only a shame, a tragedy.
