An average woman is stunned to discover a global streaming platform has launched a prestige TV drama adaptation of her life — in which she is portrayed by Hollywood A-lister Salma Hayek Pinault.

Well that was a weird and wonderful opening episode

Nothing incredible but better than what they've served up in previous seasons.

Finished the season.

I enjoyed it a lot. From worst to best I'd say episode...

4, 5, 2, 1, 3

I'm not sure how I feel about the turn away from tech dystopia/satire to mystery/supernatural. They were my least favourite episodes of the season for sure.

Just watched Joan Is Awful. Possibly the silliest Black Mirror episode so far

I didn't hate it, but USS Callister did a much better job in terms of silly entertainment.

The last 2 were pretty meh, save for the guy playing the demon being fun. If he's trying to sidle into horror I guess he's run out of ideas, but really you'd be much better off watching Inside No9 if you want that
