Black Mirror is a uniquely bleak sci-fi drama that delves into the darkness of future(istic) technology. It provides a cynical but also grounded view by how some concepts that seem great to have in theory, could destroy many relationships, humans and more. But. This goes for the first 3 seasons and partly 4th season. The show has dropped off significantly and has lost it's identity sadly.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. But here we go. I just finished season 6. And I have to say, this show is done. It's heyday's are over. Up until season 4 (if I'm a bit more harsh S3) it's such a unique and enjoyable show exploring the darkness of tech. It was creative, at times a gut punch, emotional, well acted and directed. It was all there. After S4 it started to feel like ''shorts'' that overstay their welcome and don't really hook into the core identity of the show. And it lost me.

If I would recommend anyone the show it would be to watch till season 3 for the essentials. Episodes such as ''The Entire History of You'' ''White Bear'' ''Be Right Back'' ''White Christmas'' ''San Junipero'' (my favorite) and more, you honestly can't go wrong with any episode of the first 3 seasons. Season 4 started showing signs of regression.

San Junipero deserves a special shoutout, that episode stuck with me for weeks. It's a incredibly well done episode and to it's core based on such a strong emotional foundation. Death, life, existentialism. For me it was an episode that made me reflect and ask questions to myself. A sign of a strong episode. Now in contrast, San Junipero could be a seen as out of place in the lineup of S1-3 episodes. As it's not depressing in a traditional sense for the show. But... uniquely depressing in a happy way, if that makes any sense.

Overall, though, the show has great direct, lovely acting and always felt solid all around. Just fantastic. It does hold the standard throughout most seasons. Some episodes here and there feel weaker than others, as is expected with a anthology series. But I don't remember crazy poor performances or sloppy episodes in a technical sense.

This show has had episodes I will never forget. And that's worth something. Sadly, the last couple seasons were dull and I'm done with giving the show a chance each time. The writing just isn't there anymore.
