Black Mirror Series 5 was first teased in March 2018, below, but that turned out to be the brilliant Christmas/New Year interactive movie Bandersnatch. So, Series 5 proper is still coming, and rather than the usual six episodes, there’s just three. Still, three is better than none. Dom RobinsonReviewer of movies, videogames and music since […]
Bandersnatch is the latest addition to Charlie Brooker‘s Black Mirror stable, and with the trailer being released just yesterday, and with the end of the year approaching and time being limited, I was really hoping this would be pushed into early 2019, but no, it’s out now! So I need to get straight on it. […]

No Comments »Black Mirror Special may or may not be filming in Croydon, recreating a 1984-era WH Smith’s store, a shop I frequented many times in Stockport, buying LPs, singles and ZX Spectrum games – as shown by the Atic Atac boxes shown, but it appears these memories may be coming back to reality on Netflix. Those […]
Cunk On Britain brings Diane Morgan‘s Philomena Cunk back to the small screen following her Worlds of Wonder segments on Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe, and the subsequent Cunk on Shakespeare. I really enjoyed all of that, so was looking forward to this, but as it began it was all feeling a little too familiar. Dom […]
Black Museum is the fifth episode of Black Mirror Series 4 and is a place for the most bizarre exhibits you’ll ever see, but while it used to be popular, the place is set in the desert, times are lean, and eccentric proprietor Rolo Haynes (Douglas Hodge) is not getting the numbers coming in that […]

Metalhead is the fifth episode of Black Mirror Series 4 and takes place in an alternate society where, and is aiming for a Mad Max vibe, it’s set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with scant dialogue, albeit shot in black and white. However, that last aspect is to its credit, as is how a film process […]

Hang The DJ is the fourth episode of Black Mirror Series 4 and takes place in an alternate society where, as demonstrated by Frank (Joe Cole) and Amy (Georgina Campbell), you go on dates not only in the hope of meeting ‘the one’, but as confirmed by a new app/device which even orders your food […]

Crocodile is the third episode of Black Mirror Series 4 and, initially, centres on Mia (Andrea Riseborough) and Rob’s (Andrew Gower) car accident, which leads to a situation they’d rather forget, and which they’d rather no-one else found out about. She’s in a panic while he’s comparatively cool as a cucumber and resolves the issue. […]

USS Callister is the first of six new episodes which comprise Black Mirror Series 4 and begins with a Star Trek spoof – where Jesse Plemons (Fargo Season 2) makes for quite an amusing Captain Kirk-a-like, presented in the show’s original 4:3-ish ratio. I say ‘ish’ because the whole thing is still within the 2.00:1 […]
