Black Mirror: Loch Henry
(2023)
Episode 2, Season 6

Why I love Black Mirror
This episode of Black Mirror left me absolutely spellbound. It was an exceptional blend of brilliance and darkness, making it one of the best episodes I've ever watched in the entire series. From start to finish, it gripped me with its sinister atmosphere, taking me on a journey that grew increasingly unsettling and dark as the plot unfolded.

I found myself pausing the episode multiple times. Scenes left me with a wave of shock, surpassing even my most horrifying expectations. Just when I thought I had a grasp on what was going to happen, the episode took a twisted turn, leaving me in a state of - well I would say unease but I loved it.

The last 20 minutes were an absolute rollercoaster. The intensity kept building, and I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen. But it was the final 30 seconds that make me love black mirror. In that moment, I sat there in complete silence, I didn't even bring myself to notice the next episode playing. I had a smile on my face and a tear running down my eye.

I can't stress enough how much I recommend watching this episode.

Great Story, Disappointing Ending
The story took me back to when I was watching Black Mirror for the first time. It embodied everything that makes the series one of my all-time favorites. The darkness, the thought provoking concepts, and the dystopian portrayal of companies. However, i must admit that the ending fell short of the typical Black Mirror style, i found it very disappointing.

It lacked the usual twist or unsettling revelation that leaves me either upset, scared or just blown away. Nonetheless i personally found the narrative as a whole provided me with such a great viewing experience, and i eagerly anticipate the next episode!
