Black Mirror: Season 3

| SEASON VERDICT | 

I didn't know what to expect from this anthology, but I was both terrified and fascinated with the whole concept of the series. Sure, some of the episodes weren't as strong as the others - Nosedive, in particular, was a clear standout - but for the most part, it worked and somehow managed to have an effect on me.
