Review : Black Mirror

Available on Netflix

Okay, confession time—I’m not exactly the right person to talk about future ruled by machines and mind-reading microwaves. I spend more time daydreaming about utopias where phones don’t ping and your toaster isn’t smarter than you. But curiosity is a nosy little gremlin, and I couldn’t resist sneaking a peek into the tech-warped future that Black Mirror Season 7 serves up.

What if your entire life was tethered to a transmitter? What happens if you just… step out of range? Do you vanish? Explode? Die?

Netflix’s latest dip into the Black Mirror universe answers those questions with a deliciously dark, skin-crawling whisper. It’s creepy. It’s thrilling. It makes you want to both hurl your phone out the window and check your Wi-Fi signal.

We’re talking seven episodes, all marinated in tech dystopia and topped with a side of existential dread. It’s a journey into what could be our near (too near?) future. And guess what? You don’t need to be a Black Mirror veteran to jump into this one—Season 7 stands on its own like that weird but magnetic person you meet at a party who starts talking about space-time over chips and salsa.

Think romance, drama, mind-bending twists, and enough plot shocks to reboot your brain. The stories go far—like “light-years away” far—and deep—like “do I even exist?” deep.

The cast? Oh, it’s star-studded alright. You’ll be spotting familiar faces here!

As for ranking the episodes from best to not best ? Not my style. Every story punches in its own unsettling way. The writing is razor-sharp—no room for wandering thoughts here—and the climaxes? Let’s just say they don’t believe in gentle goodbyes.

Sci-fi? Absolutely. But honestly, it flirts hard with magical realism too.

So, ready to dive into a world where tech knows you better than your mom? Just remember to stay in range... or else.
