Season 5, Episode 2
1/10
Boring, drawn out road safety advert
13 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I'm a fan of Black Mirror but every series has it's stinker episodes. I don't write many reviews but I'm here to warn people not to watch this. The worst part is that it seems like something interesting might happen, something awesome, something making it worth the build up. What is it? It's a road safety advert padded out. Don't use your mobile while driving. Awesome. What a revelation.

The main character can't accept responsibility for his actions and kidnaps someone, so the boss of the tech company can listen to his story. His story being that social media is too addictive. A dangerous precedent. I assume the next season will have murderers blaming the knife company for making such sharp knifes or some alcoholic blaming the beer company because he beat his wife up.
