Black Mirror' creator Charlie Brooker hints at what the adorably menacing 'Plaything' Throng's message means and explains the episode's shocking ending.

Paul Giamatti’s performance as Paul, a man revisiting his memories of a doomed relationship, makes for the most heartbreaking episode of the season.

While that first episode, “Common People,” is indeed a slog, the rest of the season — including and especially the bracingly nasty second episode, “Bête Noire,” which upended my expectations, and then did so again — make the argument that the free-ranging imagination “Black Mirror” has demonstrated in recent years is for the good.

The new season, premiering Thursday on Netflix, includes the show’s most blatant satire of streaming services yet.

Creator Charlie Brooker explains season 7’s unsettling inspirations and endings, including the show’s first sequel ‘USS Callister: Into Infinity.’

Season seven of Black Mirror is now streaming on Netflix. Issa Rae and Awkwafina spoke to The Hollywood Reporter all about their episode, “Hotel Reverie,” while Jimmi Simpson opened up about returning to the show for the “USS Callister” sequel episode.
