THEn Black Mirror 7 There are more relevant moments than the general sense of an exemplary season. Available on Netflix With six new episodes, the series created by Charlie Broocer It is still a fascinating study on the evolution of late capitalism and the abuses of technology. However, since no one is immune to the spirit of the times, over the years – by arm with the folding on itself of the general psyche – Black Mirror the disturbing for the nostalgic jar. A passage that has certainly made it less cool than the past. But, even if more entertainment than Nerd stuff progressively filtered to the massoften manages to hit.
In this new chapter there are two most effective episodes: Eulogy And Black beast. Very good if not exactly excellent it is also Uss Callister: Infinity, sequel – with the same cast – of an episode released in 2017; The particular structure from Comic Movie with action-city tones However, it makes it a separate case (It is no coincidence that the season closes with a film minutage).
Even remarkable Ordinaryeven if the annoying descent into the degradation of life as upgrade and bonus is never unbearable, nor threatening. Reverie Hotel Instead, it is the most ambitious scenic episode, and what pays the most aesthetic scotto to the detriment of a true emotional participation. Finally a mere muscle exercise, finally, the end or the beginning of a new world represented in Like a toy.

Black Mirror 7 On Netflix: episodes of the series, review
Altered reality to taste, An actress who falls into his favorite black and white filmthe hypothesis of a funeral speech that turns into the thriller review of a love story. Pernicious technologies of Black Mirror 7 they have to do mostly with the reboot of the pastthe dishes of the accounts with respect to a past from excluded, the maintenance in life of a consciousness made of places, identity and memory. The black screen with which every episode of the series begins, With the center of download or software upload to the centerstill opens on Abissi; However, the discomfort is characterized by a pleasant discomfort. A kind of gaze devoted and caresses about human miseries without argument and the nihilism of the past seasons.
OrdinaryEpisode 1
In this sense it is exemplary – already from the title – Ordinarywhere a streaming service sends to the sick and removed part of the brain of Rashida Jones The information necessary for survival. At a certain point, to the poor thing, commercials are also broadcastthat the algorithm chooses according to the conversation it is having at that moment. How to solve? But with a upgrade to a new subscription tariff plan. A spiral that soon put it in bankruptcy and her husband, forced to do everything online to recover the money.
The closest target of the episode is Netflix – of course – and the basic subscription plan with advertising included, Brooker makes no secret. In the future, The commercials that now interrupt the cool sequence plans of Teenagence With the best hamburger in the city they will interrupt our conversations (if we are so unfortunate that they need a streaming brain). No spot will therefore be a matter of life and death, joy. Those who have more money will live, for ordinary people, very hard times are expected.
The chills come to see the condition of Rashida. The oppressive sense of the drama, however, remains faded, without that absolutism of style and performance that could have raised the material to the true and emblematic diabolical parable of one Corporation that uses the poor people.

Better, and served with the right dramatic progressionis the story of Black beast. A Mean Girls Where the girl harassed at school, taking advantage of the computer genius that isolated her from the others, takes everything. The proportions of his diabolical plan have the size of A dictatorial schemewhich makes the episode – study of paranoia – one of the most delicious for wickedness. And one in which Tecno found it – Sort of Cosplay art – is a gimmick so attractive as to fantasize us serenely.
Evident debtor a The purple rose of Cairo, Reverie Hotel – with Issa Rae, Emma Corrin and Awkwafina – illustrates technology Redream. A software capable of precipitating an actor of today in the cast of a past film, who placing the role of one of the protagonists is so able resell the old title to the hungry masses of streaming (Another Stitletta in Netflix). Issa, an actress who would finally like to do something prestigious, accepts, even if the part is that of a man, Romantic leader who seduces Corrin, in the role of a feverish and tormented actress.
A technical accident isolates the two in the digital universe in which Redream recreated the set of the film. The interruption will change both, making certainties and existences, and sexuality (even if Corrin sees Issa as the original actor). The hypothesis staged by Reverie Hotelalbeit precisely not brand new, is fascinating. Unfortunately the intersection between Desire, dream and, once again, a reality-film in which perhaps start again remains short of energyalso due to an opaque RAE against a much more centered Alegrin. Annoyance to say it but a male counterpart would have worked better.

Better episode of Black Mirror 7: Eulogy
Leaving Like a toysequel to the film Bandersnatch and a sort of rather mechanical interval where the fear of the screen teeming with sentient creatures almost as much as the saving of the office neighbor, you get to Eulogythe fifth episode of Black Mirror 7. Here the dilemma is like doing when you are short of ideas and memories to make a funeral speech. Simple, just rely on Eulogy technology, that sent to the rescue of the character played by Paul Giamatti (amazing). Notified of the death of Carol, ex of the twenty years, the middle -aged man is precipitated inside some photos of the past in which they are present and two.
The problem is that Carol it is portrayed of the back or has a faces canceled, when not cut out: their story ended very badly. The AI technology, which when in 3D becomes an avatar, therefore helps it in the reconstruction of the love story that at the beginning appears with a single bad guy. And instead The outcome – passing through lies, false memories, defenses – will be devastating for himwith a double aging that uses more than a sentimental stratagem without ever being pathetic. It is the episode in which the technology of Black Mirror 7 It shows itself best for what it is, pure carrier. At the service of the melodrama, far from the cold monolith. Still very bad but also friendly, fearfully friendly.

Uss Callister: Infinity. The most voted on Imbd
The 90 -minute long closure of Uss Callister: Infinity give life to one of the most loved episodes of the series (inspired by Star Trek both in the cast and in the set, as well as in the name of the space of the spaceship). A sequel in which the group of poor technicians cloned illegally and placed inside the video game Infinity from his sadistic inventor – killed at the end of USS Collistar both in the video game and in reality – Fight to survive by stealing credits from 30 million players. All this while their real self – especially Nanette Cole/Cristin Milioti – They begin to suspect the worst.
Uss Callister: Infinity It has the stupidity and nerd millennialism of a B Movie. He then seems to be a parody of the parody episode of Kirk and his companions who was already a parody of the Sci-Fi series with performance, Maybe it’s also a tribute – Who knows – to that masterpiece of Galaxy Quest. But it is vital and fun, and also deep. A surprise that exceeds the original and that is better than many films with jetty of jets and guns. If it is still Black Mirror or another thing seems to be an senseless doubt: It is currently the most voted episode on IMDB.

The cast of Black Mirror 7
It is widespread opinion that more Black Mirror He reaches more celebrities. The supreme and highly blamed test remains that of Miley Cyrus in Rachel, Jack and Ashley, Toothird episode of the fifth season. In this seventh season, Apart from Issa Rae and Rashida Jones (daughter of Quincy Jones), decidedly palethe rest of the famous involved in production has behaved more than good. However, the strength of the series has always been in the choice of anonymous or little -known faces.
In Ordinary, Jones’s husband is Chris O’Dowdwhile the Corporation representative is Diana Ross’s daughter: Tracee Ellis Ross. In the second episode of famous actors there are none, but there are excellent tests of Siena Kelly e Rosy Mcewen. In Reverie Hotel The whole scene is occupied by Issa Waee, Emma Corrin And AWKWAFINA, While in Like a toy The king of the episode is Peter Capaldithe crazy LSD of LSD in his youth and probably also as an adult (next to him there are James Nelson-Joyce, Michele Austin And Will Poulter).
