Black Mirror Season 7 Debuts With Poorer Viewership Numbers Than Season 6, But Better Reviews

Black Mirror has been a hit since its 2011 release, exploring various genres and possibilities beyond day-to-day life. The series has just returned with Season 7.
Black Mirror comes from Charlie Brooker, who brought the series back to its roots in Season 7 after a short detour with Season 6.
