Why is Black Mirror special?

Some people don’t understand why Black Mirror is considered special or why people even watch it, but I concur as I personally love the series and it’s probably my favorite TV show. It shows our modern world in a very technology dependent way, often making things satirical and dark, showing consequences of the technology that we adore so much, but in a dark and twisted way. I’d say it just shows our true faces in certain situations, proving how dire some advancement could honestly be. There aren’t many shows like Black Mirror, “Love Death and Robots” probably being the closest thing, although animated. The anthology series has a strange pull and certain charm, showing the darker side of humanity and application of technology to our daily lives.

What does the Black mirror season 5 trailer reveal?

It just goes to show that once again we know that we don’t know anything, but we’re intrigued by everything. The series have been masterfully crafted by the creator Charlie Booker and the season 5 trailer is intense, more than ever, mashing up its 3 episodes — “Smithereens”, “Rachel, Jack and Ashley, Too” and “Striking Vipers”.

There are separate trailers for each episode but what do we see is that one episode is about a cab driver whose day becomes extremely weird and spirals down. The second episode looks to be about a girl who is obsessed with her favorite pop star. The third season seems to be about two people who went to college together and reunited after the years, triggering certain events that follow. We all know that while the descriptions seem vague, things are going to get messy and end up in a way no one even expected.

When does Black Mirror season 5 come out?

Black mirror season 5 release date is the 5th of June so it’s already out there! Black Mirror Season 5 is here after the long and painful wait and I personally cannot wait to see it. Of course, we had the Bandersnatch film in between the Black Mirror season 4 and 5, but it definitely wasn’t enough for the true fans. Will this be enough for us? Season 5 will only have 3 episodes in total, so that’s not a lot to work with. Hopefully, the episodes will be as amazing as ever, with its show of consequences of modern technology, making us question everything or shiver in fear of anticipation.

If you need a recap of previous episodes and seasons, although not connected together, TV tropes has Black Mirror episode recaps that are pretty insightful.

If Netflix is unavailable in your location — get a VPN service provider. A VPN changes your IP and makes it seem as if you are in another country, tricking Netflix. But it’s not that easy, Netflix knows of this and blocks most providers, only a handful of VPNs work. Therefore, check these out:
