Striking Vipers

Wow a lot of whiny uncomfortable reviews... get a grip people, this is 2019, get over it! Brilliant writing, directing and casting. And I don't get why people don't understand the ending... y'all never heard of a "hall pass"? Brilliant, just brilliant all around. It's an honest and well deserved 9/10 from me!

Two men struggle to deal with the consequences after playing an immersive video game.

Yet another humb dinger of a scenerio, that with a few tweaks could've been fabulous.

Slight spoilers below!!!

The problem is we don't see enough friendship development in the early stages to truly feel how powerful their connection is in the later scenes. We only see a snippet of college like behaviour.

Because of this we don't know if it's the game or their bond that makes the simulation so powerful.

The ending however adds an excellent spin on how to manage complicated relationships in modern times.

A little bit strange.. yea it's strange.. but really not that bad. Good acting.. but strange story haha

I definitely wouldn't say it's a favourite, but it does have a very profound message, can you fall in love with more then just the physical. It has you confused at times, as you question sexuality, love, romance etc.

Some people do genuinely live in a cyber reality, where life can perhaps seem a little simpler, this episode certainly looks into the divide between real life and cyber reality.

Very well acted, and well produced, I'd argue the most bizarre episode to date, but it's certainly enjoyable.

It's always great to see a new episode of Black Mirror. 7/10.

What if one day virtual reality is so extremely real? The story that goes along with it might make people uncomfortable, but I thought it was the best part. Enjoyed it a lot.
