“Ranking of ‘Black Mirror’ Season 7 Episodes”
Black Mirror Season 7 is back and better than ever! For those craving even more dystopian thrills in their lives, the new season of this anthology series is here to deliver. With six brand-new episodes, get ready for a wild ride through AI sentience, subscription pricing models, lost loves, high school grudges, and the privatization of health care.
Each episode of Black Mirror offers a different take on our relationship with technology, and season 7 is no exception. From action-packed scenes to heartwarming moments, this season has it all. But of course, not every episode is a hit, which is why we’re here to rank them all for you.
Starting off our list is “Hotel Reverie” (Episode 3), a feature-length episode that tries to capture the magic of ’40s Hollywood classics but falls a bit short. Starring Issa Rae and Emma Corrin, the episode aims for a “San Junipero” vibe but misses the mark with its contrived storyline.
Next up is “Common People” (Episode 1), which explores social issues related to class and technology in typical Black Mirror fashion. While the performances by Chris O’Dowd, Rashida Jones, and Tracee Ellis Ross are top-notch, the episode’s predictable storyline detracts from its impact.
“Plaything” (Episode 4) takes us back to the world of “Bandersnatch” with an interactive episode starring Peter Capaldi. While the premise is intriguing, the episode’s heavy exposition keeps it from reaching the heights of the best Black Mirror episodes.
Surprising and engaging, “Bête Noire” (Episode 2) is a standout episode of the season. Siena Kelly and Rosy McEwen shine in this mysterious tale of shifting realities and unexpected twists that culminate in a shocking finale.
Last but certainly not least, “Eulogy” (Episode 5) is the most emotionally resonant episode of the season. Paul Giamatti delivers a powerful performance as a man grappling with loss and memories in a touching and thought-provoking story.
With its mix of action, drama, and chilling tech scenarios, Black Mirror Season 7 is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and get ready to dive into the twisted world of Black Mirror!
