A fifth season of Black Mirror that didn't even look as good as the cover...

2020/28 Since the last season Netflix took over, the quality has plummeted, and the style has changed drastically. This season, I didn't hold out much hope. Sure enough, it's only worth a "OK" Samsung

To sum up the three episodes:

E1 The story of a pair of good brothers who have been in real life for decades and turned into 1s and 0s in VR games. Theme: It's over!

E2 A tragedy caused by driving and swiping Weibo, theme: Put down your mobile phone!

E3 A sunny idol singer breaks free from control and finally follows his inner story, the theme: fuck it! The old lady wants to rock!

In general comparison, the first episode is bullshit, the plot is bullshit, and I don’t know what to express; the second episode is the best of the season (probably because it was filmed in uk, so the favor is naturally up?), in line with "Black Mirror" "The core setting has always been, and the overall atmosphere is relatively peaceful, maintaining the narrative rhythm of the previous seasons, with details, key points, plots and connotations; the third episode relies on music to add points, and the rice grains performed well, and the whole look is quite cool. Yes, it is about 80 points purely from the story, but it seems to be a little less meaningful under the propositional composition of "Black Mirror". On the whole, this season's E2 has the highest degree of completion and the most point.

Until now, I can't forget the shock of watching "Black Mirror" for the first time. I have watched many British and American dramas, but its status as a "magical drama" in my heart has never been shaken. British black humor and satire have been brought to the extreme. . Although Netflix has always produced high-quality production, it obviously failed to pick up the "Black Mirror" disk. Since the last season, the style has become very American (it is about to become a pornographic drama...), the style of American dramas is of course ok, but put it in the black. On the mirror, it is extremely inconsistent, and it always feels a little less meaningful. In other words, it has lost its "high-level sense".

After S5, if there is S6, I will still watch it, but after watching this season, I just want to say Netflix, you gave me back the black mirror...
