Black Mirror, Hidden truths the mind cant see

Black Mirror created by "Charlie Brooker" takes average people, puts them in horrible, unimaginable situations, and takes the audience on a journey to see how the person reacts to the situation. Sometimes, it leads to the problem being solved. Other times, the audience is left with a cliffhanger. It takes the psychology of humans and uses it against us in a way. This show will completely mess with your mind and once you think its being messed with, you'll get messed with again and it will drive you mad. This show became very popular within the last year and they have been pumping out seasons as quickly as they can. They just currently came out with season 4 over winter break and all 6 episodes in that season are truly remarkable and truly describe Black Mirror.

One of my favorite episodes from the most resent season is "Black Museum" and is the last and I personaly believe the most enjoyable episode of the whole season. Right from the beginning of the episode you are immersed into the episode as the lead protagonist immediately meets the antagonist but the antagonist dose not know that hes me his worst enemy. Nish the Protagonist goes into the antagonists room of horrors and pretends to be friendly to him and plays along to all of his little games and as the story progresses it gets darker and darker in plot and theme and slowly starts to fall out of control overall ending up with the overall largest punishment the antagonist was asking for. To fully understand how in depth that episode goes and how messed up it gets you have to watch it for yourself and might as well watch a few more episodes while you're there.

I personally am in love with black Mirror and it has become one of my favorite T.V shows and has become what im writing my senior paper on. When ever i end up talking about film with friends or even random people I hardly know I always ask if they have seen Black Mirror and if they say no I force them to watch it as soon as they get home. The thrill of watching these episodes and truly experiencing fears that aren't expected to be is just a experience you shouldn't be missing out on. All though each of the episodes are completely different from one another including tone, theme, narrative, time, ect... objectively the film truly flows well together. The film makes connections where you wouldn't see them before truly making the whole show just a great experience. There would be no better way to make this film series run so smoothly. Also subjectively you already know that I think very highly of this film series and claim it to be one of my favorites of all time. I love how the film includes technology and social interactions, and love and a whole series of human emotions to create such a mind boggling confusing and enjoyable film series. There for I rate this Film series a Good Good and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a thriller style show.
