Charlie Brooker, the creator of the BBC-Channel4 project Black Mirror, has himself defined the series saying: "If technology is a drug – and it does feel like it – then what, precisely, are the side-effects? This area – between delight and discomfort – is where Black Mirror is set. The "black mirror" of the title is the cold, shiny screen of a TV, a monitor, a smartphone.” The three stand-alone dramas are sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales with a techno-paranoia bent.

Joan Is Awful (2023) (S06E01)
The episode, which starts off well (because it's Black Mirror, and we all expect a brilliant story and a mind-blowing twist), I have to admit that the first episode was quite weak for me. I don't want to completely dismiss it, but it was rather boring and, well, crappy? The premise was okay, but compared to previous episodes, this one is only about 20% of what Black Mirror is capable of. So hopefully, the next episodes will bring something more captivating.

Loch Henry (2023) (S06E02)
The second episode is noticeably better than the first one. The very essence of the episode - a remote village, a horrifying murder, and the search for truth - is already intriguing. For me, it's good, but I'll only give it three stars, cause the plot is somewhat predictable, and from the very beginning, I knew why the mother had so many VHS tapes of detective shows. So, it's okay, but we can do better! Come on, Black Mirror, show us what you've got!
