Black Mirror: The Waldo Moment (2013)
Season 2, Episode 3
7/10
Vote Waldo!
31 December 2018
Of all the episodes of Black Mirror that I've seen, this one seems the least far fetched, when you look at the state of The UK right now politically, this doesn't seem too far off, people are so detached politically right now, that I can believe in this.

It doesn't have the depth of other episodes, when you consider that this followed White Bear in particular, it does lack any sort of shock factor, or any real emotional depth.

The moment where Jamie attacks the MPs is great, he clearly doesn't handle rejection well.

Politics in 2018, I could vote for a blue bear.

As a political geek I enjoyed this one, and love its relevance, but I get that the appeal to this one is more limited. Daniel Rigby and Tobias Menzies are both terrific.

Better then it's perceived. 7/10
