This month Verve’s star teen reviewer Lucy Kennedy reflects on the sixth season of the iconic Black Mirror.
Black Mirror Season 6
16+
Created by Charlie Brooker, Black Mirror is a British television series in which each episode explores different stories and genres usually centred around dystopian themes. The highly anticipated sixth season of the show is creative, spooky, and utterly engaging, packed full of mystical and compelling storylines worthy of full-length films. Because each episode is a standalone story, you don’t have to have seen previous seasons in order to understand and enjoy the newest instalment.
The stories are quirky, thought-provoking, and usually incorporate extremely clever and entirely unexpected plot twists. My favourite from the new season, titled ‘Loch Henry’, follows amateur documentarians in a remote Scottish town as they uncover wrenching secrets about a string of murders that took place decades earlier. With gorgeous, melancholy shots of Scottish landscapes and a gripping narrative, this is an episode
I will definitely revisit.
I highly recommend watching all of Black Mirror’s seasons, as you will surely become addicted to the compelling short-form narratives of the show, and pick out your favourites from each season.
