USS Callister (S04E01)

I returned to Black Mirror after a break and started with just such a great episode! The cynically funny script raises a lot of interesting questions and relies on an absolutely fantastic Jesse Plemons. It’s as if Galaxy Quest was a thriller. (06/11/2023)

Do you submit? After the initial twenty minutes I would expect it much darker, with more consistent internal logic, less eye-catching logical lapses, more dealing with the morals and not that all so significantly "more black-mirrored". But at the same time I don't want (and especially I can't) deny that the resulting "Galaxy Quest with an overlap" undeniably works and is fun. A that means a lot. (01/01/2018)

The best episode of the fourth season (and for me the only one this time that’s getting five stars). A great idea, a great antagonist and perfect lines that blew me away in some cases. In this episode Booker combines a dark statement about the perverted aspects of people with humour and lightness, in such way that it really doesn’t matter that strict logic doesn’t apply to the plot and that the rules of that fictitious world are loose, as if they were put together on the go.
