POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR BLACK MIRROR SEASON SIX BELOW!

I’m a big fan of Black Mirror but I think I’m the odd one our when it comes to my favourites. My all time favourite out of all the seasons was Metalhead. I loved its Hitchcockesqueness.

I’ve decided on Mazey Day as my favourite episode of season 6. I love the theme of how being exploited (whether that’s being paid a pittance in Starbucks, or being hounded by paparazzi) can turn people into monsters.

What were your thoughts on the latest season? What are your favourite episodes?

    Loved the critique too, and it brought up a genuinely interesting question about our image in the age of improving CGI and deepfakes. It gets brought up in Bojack Horseman too, where the performance of a CGI likeness of an actor :::ends up winning the actor an Oscar.:::

    I was watching that episode with a lawyer, and at the end of it he goes, “moral of the story is to live in the EU” haha. Turns out GDPR would walk all over that data mining.
