The series that puts us in front of the mirror (and we don’t like what we see)
From his first in 2011, Black mirror He knew he was sneaking into our deeper digital nightmares. It’s not just science fiction: It is an extravagant criticism of the real worldcamouflaged in possible future. And this is what he does, season after season, this series continues to have a privileged hole in our “series that you have to see yes or yes”.
The mind behind all this is still Charlie Broocer, who in this seventh season signs all the episodes, alone or with collaborators such as Bisha K. Ali or She Road. His seal is unmistakable: black humor, irony and that discomfort that is blocked to you at the end of each chapter.
Production remains in the hands of NetflixWhich has shown that he knows how to maintain the tone and visual quality of the series even when the plots become more ambitious and surreal. If previous deliveries have led us to alternative realities, lower social networks and too real simulations, this new batch Seems to want to overcome himself in every story.
