The plots were lazy, nothing crazy, each episode had a celebrity starring cause let's show our audience how much we don't care anymore, we want the money. Fifth season lacked the originality and philosophy aspects that made Black Mirror remarkable. You didn't stare in terror or fascination. The episodes weren't filled with gore, technological advancements, ethical dilemmas, they weren't mind boggling as they once were. The creators must have lost their initial focus. This season brought us three episodes, they weren't necessarily bad they were very much okay but it felt like you were watching a different series entirely.
Next comes the fifth season aka Black Mirror's downfall. All four come with thought-provoking plots and unexpected twists. Third and fourth seasons can only be described as masterpieces. The first and second seasons were a nice introduction to what the creators had in mind and to the message of Black Mirror. Black mirror isn't annoying with anti-technology messages, it doesn't have the "oh, technology bad, book good" mindset, it focuses on many aspects and possibilities that technology may bring in the future, it doesn't judge, instead lets the viewers do the judgement and come to their own conclusions which was a breath of fresh air to be honest. Each episode tells a different story with a set of new characters (as an anthology does), but one main character stays the same - technology. Black mirror is one outstanding series that introduces its audience to unique, interesting, problematic and worst of all terrifyingly possible visions of the future.
