Season 4, Episode 1
2/10
Worst Black Mirror episode?
2 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
If there's one thing that summarizes Black Mirror is brilliant writing and sharply defined plots. But not this one.

SPOILERS COMING: At the end, all we see is the digital recreations of the characters in the game. But what happens to them in real life? If Daly dies (he's a loner trapped inside his apartment and since his customized game no longer exists, he probably won't wake up), what happens to the company? And when the police breaks into his place (after some time his office partners, who know nothing about "his" game, will inquire) and find him dead, they'll investigate... and find Nannette's fingerprints everywhere.

Additionally, the good and bad characters are pretty debatable. Online Daly is a monster. But in real life he is mistreated by everyone. Isn't he a bit justified in his online cruelty?
