San Junipero easily fits the bill of what anthology television always strives to do: make immortal pieces of work stand out from the crowd while still being part of a collective series of equally captivating works. San Junipero evokes Thelma and Louise, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and also being infused with that good old 80s nostalgia that's had a television resurgence thanks to Stranger Things. Oh; and PacMan is referenced too.
This is a lovely capsule of nostalgia, romance, what the afterlife could be like in the future (in a cloud containing people's minds), and how this episode also says there's no shame in 'coming out', especially in this day and age where LGBT people are being seen as 'threatening' to conservatives even though there's no harm at all in choosing that lifestyle openly.
As far as Black Mirror episodes go, this one surprised me the most solely because it actually moved me the most. I love the series as a whole, but damn this episode was truly an experience!
An episode that gets 5/5 stars from me.
