Black Mirror: Bête Noire
2025
🎯 Verdict
✍️ Full Review
Creates a whole new frontier on the definition of gaslighting and uses it to launch a missile from the silo of sweet old school revenge. Of course, it's not that straightforward as it's a personalized psych warfare than the routinely conventional boring ones. Except it was going so incredibly well that it made me question whether it's going on a little too incredibly well. Right up until the end when it chooses to become the conventional too elaborate and designed right to a tee, it lost me. That was so by the book. I started imagining it to be voodoo or something ancient. But, given it's Black Mirror, it sure does try to push the frontier of sci-fi but for some reason that's not enough of a shocking experience for me which is what this show's secret sauce used to be. It's good enough though.
