Plaything is genuinely the greatest Black Mirror episode to come out in years. It's such an incredible concept executed extremely well in just a very short time. The actors have done an incredible job on this one, and so have the directors. They do an extremely good job building the world, and all the references are so fun to catch. The soundtrack is doing an exceptional job too.

The episode is even more fun if you've watched Bandersnatch, the interactive episode. Glad to see Colin Ritman again, in a completely brand new plot.

While the recent reviews seem to be harsh on this episode, it will age as one of the best Black Mirror episode to exist.

Bête Noire is an episode that builds up incredibly well to its final conclusion. While it is somewhat predictable in a few moments, it still manages to deliver a suspenseful and gripping experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is tense, the pacing is strong, and the ideas it explores are genuinely interesting - More interesting than any episode from last seasons Red Mirror Episodes.

My only real complaint is that the ending felt a bit silly compared to the stress and pressure the rest of the episode built up. Still, it seems fitting-the message being that unlimited power can eventually turn someone into exactly what they despise.

Overall, it was a fun and thought-provoking watch, my hoodie has bite marks all over it now. Definitely standing out above last season's average.
