Black Mirror Season 4 Review – ‘USS Callister’
Martin Carr reviews Black Mirror’s USS Callister… Some have called this the flagship episode of season four and it has many of the hallmarks you might expect. In Jesse Plemons and Jimmi Simpson we have Breaking Bad and House of Cards alumni doing the dramatic heavy lifting. Production wise Brooker’s world never looked so expansive, […]

Industries have been built on this compulsion and our need for validation, success beyond the […]
Black Mirror Season Four Review – ‘Black Museum’
Martin Carr reviews Black Mirror’s ‘Black Museum’… Darker than pitch and exploring areas of the human condition which others may shy away from ‘Black Museum’ works on multiple levels. A barren desert scrubland with nothing for miles except an imposing structure with blacked out windows. Inside are artefacts curated by a highly intelligent, morally flexible […]
Black Mirror Season Four Review – ‘Metalhead’
Martin Carr reviews Black Mirror’s ‘Metalhead’… Post-apocalyptic landscapes filmed in crisp black and white are the calling card of David Slade in this episode of Black Mirror entitled ‘Metalhead’.
