Black Mirror season 5

 The most recent season of the cult series me and Noshi watched on Netflix recently, though season might be cutting it...

It is only a measly 3 episodes long!

Though, we do get some big names in the season, with Anthony Mackie and Miley Cyrus being lead plays in the episodes.

But while it where some fun episodes to watch, there is a certain thing I started feeling in season 4 as well.  It all seems less far future set, and due to that, makes it just less believable in what might be coming to us.  Episode one is about two youth friends falling in love due to a virtual reality game, episode two is about a hurt person wanting to contact the head of a Facebook like site going to great lengths, and episode three about a teen pop sensation exploited by her aunt.

Sure, there are still not yet with us techniological things in those episodes, but yet, it isn`t that cool as for example the first season episode where a guy needs to earn points to free his friend out of the porn industry and such.  It really paints less of a Black Mirror before our eyes this season, and more a sort of drama series of all day possible events.

No, this very short season kind of made the magic and intrigue of the series flow out of me to be honest...
