Mazey Day

After reading other reviews many describe this as "thrilling" and I would like to refute this. I appreciate delving into the darkness of what is celebrity culture and exploring the consequences of our continuous pursuit of obsession and fame. The concept of this episode is to explore the dehumanising nature of fame. This is shown well with young Mazey being the victim of relentless paparazzi and the show does a good of depicting her deteriorating state but not for the reasons you may think...

Brooker makes an attempt at social contemporary by blending the supernatural with intrusive paparazzi rather than making a real stamp and taking the opportunity to showcase psychological toll on these individuals caused by the media.

This one will definitely challenge the dedicated fan base that appreciate Brooker's unique social commentary blended with dystopian storytelling. If one is expecting a technology-focused narrative they may be disappointed and I'm not sure this will engage and resonate with the typical audience.

I say this might be the worst because this is my lowest-rated episode. Mazey Day is an episode that makes me question if Black Mirror is already losing its edge. Again, like Loch Ness, Mazey Day doesn't have the "Black Mirror" vibes. It's just a horror suspense story. Unlike Loch Ness however, Mazey Day isn't that great. It's just a bit ridiculous, although I gotta admit the climax is a bit fun and the acting is also good.

This episode is about the life of paparazzi, and how they can affect lives, specifically celebrities. The story doesn't have technology commentary or any sci-fi elements or something that is typical of Black Mirror, which is disappointing because we waited like three years or something FOR THIS??

How many of you think black mirror has to have a checklist of Sci fi and technology messing up humans.

Seriously is that all you think black mirror is.

The show us always been turning a mirror towards society and going THIS IS ALL OF YOU.

People don't like their views on society being spotlighted and mocked, they believe they are the righteous and all content bows to them. We saw the same cry babies when it's always sunny in Philadelphia mocked the Right wing on a much larger scale than earlier season. Too funny.

I guess I shouldn't be shocked by the intelligence levels of IMDb reviewers when they keep crying "not black mirror".

A troubled Hollywood actress is hunted by invasive paparazzi after her disappearance while dealing with the aftermath of a hit-and-run incident The premise is interesting and it feels like that kind of story that is too dense at first, but could take off at any moment, in this case it's the opposite, the story never reaches its full potential, they just scratch the surface of the matter And when you think the story could be saved with some crazy plot twist like in white bear the final twist will only make you say what the hell just happened? I won't go into details of what happens at the end, see for yourselves and see what I mean, I would dare to say that this is even worse than Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too, a shame, because the idea of what he The episode tries to show it's there, the morbidity in the media and how far they can go, but it only manages to be a more simplified version of nightcrawler, only by removing the intelligent script and the good protagonist.

Black Mirror has always been a startling commentary on technology. This season has been drifting away from that and bordering on some kind of horror/fantasy. Why can't the writers pause and remember that San Junipero was their best episode and realize that we don't need to feel scared, we need to be mesmerized and surprised by new concepts surrounding technological advancements. And if those concepts happen to excite us or just freak us out, cool. But the goal doesn't need to simply be to freak us out. Loch Henry & Demon 79 had the same problem. While these kinds of episodes are entertaining on their own, they aren't Black Mirror.
