Black Mirror (2011)
Red Mirror Not Black
A very disappointing season. The success of the series is based on intelligent thought provoking episodes that usually have a twist at the end. With the new sudden technological advances such as AGI and AR I thought there would be new interesting episodes based on that. The only episode that fit this criteria was beyond the sea.
The Mazey day episode I watched second and nearly gave up watching the rest. A 12 year old could have written that twist at the end and has been done to death. Completely unoriginal and childish, what's the point. Another episode had a demon. Why!?
A DEMON And A WEREWOLF!?

Red Mirror
The worst episode of a very disappointing season. The success of the series is based on intelligent thought provoking episodes that usually have a twist at the end. With the new sudden technological advances such as AGI and AR I thought there would be new interesting episodes based on that.
I watched this episode thinking there would be some massive clever twist and there was a twist but an extremely silly, stupid one. A WEREWOLF!? SERIOUSLY! A 12 year old could have come up with this. Everything about this episode had nothing to do with black mirror. They should create a new series called Red Mirror where they can make unoriginal childish episodes and then me and other black mirror fans won't waste their time watching.
Better (2023)
okay but a few plot holes
I found some parts a bit cringe and unrealistic, as others have said should have ended in episode 4. The last episode especially the ending were completely unrealistic and a bit boring. Friends or not, slack should have been a goner a long time ago for trying to take down Andy on multiple occasions.
Going for dinners and meetings in car parks with a wanted drug lord not very clever and someone bound to spot them together at some point. You can't keep those friendships hidden.
Thought the acting was good from Andy and the old bean (forgot his name.)
The best acting by far though was from Zaid Munir who played Rashid, definitely a rising star!
Treason (2022)
Can't get past the plot
The plot is just too unrealistic and silly to enjoy or take seriously.
The most unrealistic part for me is how the main character gets into his position as second in command in the first place, if he suddenly keeps finding out information about terrorist plots that no one else in the mI6 knows about, then naturally they're going to wonder where that information comes from. The fact it's apparently happened multiple times makes it even more silly.
The people giving this high reviews are obviously incapable of logical thought, and they're unable to understand that real life is nothing like this. If the teenagers like it then that's good I suppose.
