Black Mirror didn’t have enough sci-fi in season 6, fans thought
With a community rating of 8.3, Black Mirror is the best sci-fi series produced by Netflix on Moviepilot. But how much sci-fi was there in season 6? Not enough for some fans who demanded, among other things: “Just put it down.”
Black Mirror tells a new story in every episode. However, only two of the five episodes from Season 6 had clear sci-fi plots: Beyond the Sea and Joan is Awful. The remaining episodes were more in the satire and fantasy area. This change was, according to Brooker “conscious decision”because:
There was a risk that people [Black Mirror] as a ‘technology-is-evil’ series – I found that a bit frustrating. Because the show doesn’t say technology is bad, it says people are fucked up.
That means: Little will change in the direction of Black Mirror in season 7. On Netflix you can stream all 6th Black Mirror seasons and the special Bandersnatch.
