Black Mirror and Netflix and Streamberry

I saw many people were a bit baffled as to why Netflix would allow Black Mirror to criticise them in the first two episodes of season 6.

Because it's part of Netflix's business strategy.

If they had not allowed it, the makers of Black Mirror would have most likely kicked up a stink. That would have hurt Netflix's brand further (they have been facing backlash for months now, the latest being the "one household per account" fiasco). Censorship never looks good for any brand (at least in the West; companies have no problems editing out scenes from shows that are deemed "not appropriate" for certain cultural contexts (and by that I mean: what authoritarian regimes think is appropriate and what promotes "corrupted Western values").

Allowing Black Mirror to criticise its brand serves three purposes for Netflix:

It distracts from the other criticisms.

It shows that they are conscious of the problem. Many digital companies do this now. Look at Meta: Instagram has introduced tools to regulate teenagers' consumption of the app. Facebook promises to have stricter rules regarding harmful content. But, and this is the most important part, will these episodes substantially change Netflix's business model? No. The release of content on Netflix is carefully planned (as we have seen in Joan is Awful).

Netflix won't release any new true crime content over the next few weeks (it's also summer and people don't want to be down too much). My guess is they will wait until autumn comes around, when the days get shorter, and people spend more time inside which means they will use streaming services more and will crave more content that "fits" the season. So, a few weeks before Halloween we will see some new true crime content on Netflix or perhaps a "crime drama" based on a true story. And we will see Halloween costumes inspired by these shows. Some people will then criticise Netflix and point to the Black Mirror episodes which, conveniently, you can watch on Netflix. So you don't even have to leave Netflix to see critical content about Netflix. That takes away potential content from competing streaming services. And Netflix knows that only a marginal number of people, if any, will cancel their Netflix subscriptions because of Black Mirror. If Black Mirror was this powerful, everyone who watched it would have deleted their social media and thrown their phones into the ocean by now.

I really enjoyed this season of Black mirror, even with the demons and the werewolves. It was a fun switch up, plus the tech stuff was still good!

Loved the Streamberry gimick and all the Easter eggs 🤪

Don't want to make this post too long so I'll say a couple of sentences for each episode:

1) Joan is Awful - Strong, funny episode and the actors killed it! Everyone on Joan's life was insane for not immediately supporting her lmao (Krish included!), a tv show about her life is special circumstances. (Annie Murphy and Salma Hayek were awesome)

2) Loch Henry - I knew that that Janet was mad sketch. I felt so bad for Davis and Pia: she deserved better! (Also people are TERRIFYING)

3) Beyond the Sea - honestly what did Cliff expect? David was wild though, to be fair grief does make you crazy lol. Wearing the replica and seeing Lana did NOT help.

4) Mazey Day - I'm glad the paparazzi got killed, it's what they deserved and I hope it hurt. Also lol werewolves

5) Demon 79 - I can't even put in words how grateful I was that Nida wasn't crazy and hallucinating 😭. I loved her and Gaap, and I chose to see their ending as a happy one!

Over all its was a great season and if you want to see some more of our thoughts, feel free to watch our YouTube video! Don't forget to comment and let us know what you think 😁

Black Mirror Season 6 Review

Black Mirror is a show that has such high concepts usually set in the world of technology or the supernatural in some regard. Season 6 was no different and featured 5 episodes of varying themes and length. Let's take a look at them one by one.

Joan is Awful-  This one was a fun, easy concept about privacy and the new age of content. Joan finds her own life streaming one night, and her life begins to unravel. Starring Annie Murphy, Salma Hayek, Ben Barnes and Michael Cera this episode pokes fun at terms and conditions, whether or not we ever truly have privacy in today's age and the possibility of what AI may be able to create in the next few years.  Score 8.5/10

Loch Henry - Set in the Scottish countryside, Davis and his girlfriend Pia are setting off to film a documentary. Their plans change when they learn of a shocking local secret. This is my favorite episode of the season by far. It shows the intricacies of making film as the entire process is on display. It also shows just how personal some things can be, and sometimes dredging up old secrets is not a good idea. The second half is filled with so much tension, and it truly elevated the big shocking twist. Score 9.5/10

Beyond The Sea-  Set in an alternative 1969, two men are on a space mission into deep space. A new technology allows them to be on the space station and, through a robotic body replica, still spend time on earth with their loved ones. Aaron Paul is the stand-out here along with Kate Mara as they get the bulk of the screen time. The themes presented here are about loneliness, love, and grief. The second half is very heavy, but it never quite reaches the level one was hoping for. Score 7/10

Mazey Day- A group of Paparazzi chase celebrities for scandalous stories. Bo wants out but a massive payday lures her back in when a young starlet just disappears from a movie set without any explanation. This one was the simplest approach with the coolest looking twist. It was also the shortest and straight to the point episode of the season. It didn't pull any punches and continues the theme of the season which focuses on privacy and secrets. Score 8/10

Demon 79- Nia works in a department store and finds her life mundane. One day, when taking her break in the lunch room, she accidentally creates a blood pact with an ancient demon. The task is to kill three people or bring about the apocalypse in three days. This episode was good, even if it was a bit all over the place. It dealt with facing the question of sacrifice for the greater good. It dealt with themes of good vs. evil and choosing what kind of person you want to be in this life. It was thoroughly entertaining, and as the tension mounts, you truly begin to understand the weight of the struggle. Score 8/10

Black Mirror x "Joan Is Awful" (prod. Charlie Brooker).

At the core of the latest [...] season is the exploration of the toll the entertainment we consume takes from us thanks to an endless string of "prestige" television often based on the real-life trauma of others in the vein of true crime adaptations and how or why they are produced for audiences in the first place.

"The Empress", a semi-autobiographical multiversal musical comedy-drama written and executive-produced by Verity Greene, has been greenlit on Streamberry. Production details will be coming soon.
