Ever seen a movie where every episode is made up of a different storyline? Well, I have seen one, so I was going through the different collections of movies that popped up on my notification bar. I decided to explore the movies, so I can decide which one I'd watch.
Then I saw this movie that grabbed my attention, "Black Mirror". Firstly, it was the title of the movie, I strongly believe the term black in a movie can be referred to as something that is the opposite of good. And then, because it had the genre "horror," I ran to that download button and did the needful.
After downloading I started my watching journey, after finishing the episode one I decided to continue and move to episode two then I noticed the episode two was having different character and I became confused like "its the wrong episode I'm watching" so I went back to clear that doubt inside of me and to my greatest surprise I was right and I didn't download the wrong movie, it was the right one all along.
Now the thing that is ringing in my head right now is how to tell the plot of this movie, because where do I start? Every episode has a different character and a different storyline.
Black Mirror is an outstanding movie that explores different technopanics and features different characters in each episode.
This is the first time in my entire lifetime that I've watched a movie that contains different characters for each episode, and at some point, it felt like I was watching a different movie with the same name.
When I first downloaded the movie, unknowing to me I downloaded season seven because the movie has seven seasons, after seeing the episode one of season seven I thought I had missed out on the previous seasons but then when I saw the episode two of season seven, it dawned on me that indeed this movie is unique.
Overall, the movie was incredible, the horror side of it felt real, and the different episodes and different storylines were amazing. The cinematography was the major reason I had to spend that quality time on the movie.
I'm gonna rate this movie 8/10 maybe because I'm used to movies where every season has the same characters, so this particular movie was a bit confusing, at some point I was expecting more from those characters, but before I knew, that episode had ended and I won't be seeing those cast again.

Thanks for reading 🧡
Black Mirror is just a collection of short stories, with a different cast and crew to tell each story.
Its more about a mood and type of writing and story than it is to be anything where one episode tells you things about another. Watch it in any order. No one cares :)
Just enjoy the dystopian, uncomfortable horror of a future world.
