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!

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.

I've read the reviews complaining about it not being black mirror or the episode being boring. What were you watching? Black mirror is all about technology affecting our lives in the near future and showing us paths that may be trodden. This is about the perils and highs of immersive gaming, this is about better than life (thank you Red Dwarf), this is about boundaries being blurred, relationships being blurred, life being blurred. Nothing in this episode couldn't happen and very likely will happen. The cast was strong, the writing and direction both strong, ending strong. This had it all. Writing this review I changed my score to a 10 from a 9 as I couldn't see what was dropping the point whilst I wrote. I've intentionally not put any spoilers and the hints I have given were in the trailer. It's a great episode. I have no idea what the negative reviewers were watching to be honest.

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

Dimnishing the boundaries between VR and reality to a point where it becomes disturbing. Abnormal is the new normal of life.
