Black Mirror: Beyond the Sea (2023)
WHERE IS GROUND CONTROL?
...as one reviewer wrote - and that's the question I was asking myself during this episode.
The conditions for this story to work out are so unbelievable, that watching it just isn't enjoyable. If this was some kind of dream maybe, or a simulation, or whatever.. but you can't sell this as a (believable) alternate reality to the average viewer.
I understand that this season of Black Mirror is unlike the others, it's not all "science fiction - possibly soon to be reality". Instead it's also werewolves, demons and... this piece of fiction.
This episode was weakly written with little suspense and I spent half an hour trying remember Josh Hartnett's name.

No likeable characters here...
I have seen some Russian series before, this one definitely stands out as one I can not recommend to anyone. The characters are shallow and the dialogues poorly written. There is no storyline whatsoever - everyone is cheating on everyone and trying to act cool and/or sexy - no character is in any way believable.Your time is too precious for this one.
