Looking at Charlie Brooker’s dark take on a future world that isn’t that far away, with plenty of dark satyrical humor of todays modern social network obsessed modern world, each one aiming to see what could happen if things get more then a little out of hand. Episode one
Be Right Back, tells the story of a young couple but with tragedy striking early in there releationship the grife strike woman dose something rather drastic and uses a improbable program to bring her love one back to life with the power of the internet, this is an amazing creepy story and on eof the shows that i really found hard to watch all the way through, as times passes you can really start to see the problems that this would cause and how it is effecting the woman emotional, one of the creepiest story’s told in black mirror and that is really saying something considering what storys we where told from season 1.
Episode two White Bear, By far the best story of this years three, a woman with no memory wakes in a empty house with really no sigh of human life around her at all, when she dose find living people they are just filming her with her phone, everyone, when she dose find others who are not just stuck to there phone they are trying to kill her wearing masks and holding weapons. running into the first normal people she joins a woman on her trip to a ‘safe zone’. With an ending you won’t believe by far the best story told during season 2.
Episode Three The Waldo Moment, An interesting take on the whole idea of a pop culture figure getting into polotics, an interesting episode with a very over the top ending that where a lot more ‘over the top’ when compared to the other storys, it feels less real with sort of epilogue we are given but leading up tot that a fairly good story and you can really feel the struggle that the man behind the character of ‘Waldo’ is going through as he just wants to make people laugh and not be involved with the politics, like the rest of the storys told this season you feel connected to the character’s that these actions are happening to.
A good series over all, not really as good as the first but still a great few storys told that may make you think aboutg the things that are happening in todays world.
