Black Mirror Season 6 highlights supernatural horror over sci-fi | review

I watched Season 6 of Black Mirror streaming series on Netflix. While these sci-fi horror shows are always tough to watch, I find them occasionally brilliant and often memorable. But it’s like tough medicine to watch horror shows while waiting for the lessons they offer about technology.

This season, which arrived in June, was a shortish five episodes. It was the first new season since before the pandemic in June 2019. The real world was so bad, I suppose, that we didn’t need a new season of Black Mirror.
