I’ve recently been enjoying one of Netflix’s primetime shows, “Black Mirror,” the dark future dystopia that provides a dialogue on human interaction, and the evolving state of technology.

One of the best parts of the show is its theme or message that ties into current events by using possible advancements in technology from the future. They constantly baffle and subvert, and I’ve never more excited to be bamboozled.

Each episode follows its own narrative with unique characters, starting with some obscure gimmick, then refining it and eventually building up to a really interesting twist or use of the gimmick, taking an unexpected subversion of expectations.

One of my favorite parts of the show is its questioning of accepted reality and world building. If you pay close enough attention, you’ll start to see how the show fits together, and the show’s grasp of the possible future makes me both excited and fearful for the human race to change with improved gadgets.

It is very adult however, even for my standards, so I advise you to be careful.

“Black Mirror” is always pulling you in wanting more, because each episode is like its own movie. You want to see what else its future has in store, and how else you can self-reflect upon, feel judged by or gain newfound knowledge from the invented technology of “Black Mirror.”

It is a testament to the beauty of streaming services, and a sad farewell to cable TV.

I expect much more from the show, as it is a great message to people today and of the future. I give “Black Mirror,” if on a scale of drunk stumbling that mimics dancing to impressive club moves, a solid salsa dance.

This was my bimonthly review- I hope you hated it.
