Netflix’s hit sci-fi anthology Black Mirror is known for its experimental twists, and its new seventh season included a particularly intriguing one: a hidden QR code.
In the fourth episode titled “Plaything,” Scottish actor and director Peter Capaldi stars as an old-man loner, Cameron, who becomes obsessed with an atypical Nineties video game. The game, created by Colin Ritman (Will Poulter), requires him to take care of an ever-growing population of digital creatures called Thronglets. His preoccupation with the game, however, leads to a grisly murder.
