I've always had a tough time pitching Black Mirror to the uninitiated. One thing I always like to lead with is, "It's like the best episodes of The Twilight Zone, but with a near-future, technological bend."
But, after watching Black Mirror Season 6, where I ranked all five episodes, can I really even use that pitch anymore? I mean, it's not that some of the episodes this season don't lean into the dystopian aspects of technology, but I feel like Season 6 is kind of shedding that identity and becoming…something else.
