“Black Mirror” is an American TV show that has 5
seasons and 22 episodes. The first broadcast was shown on the 4th of December
of 2011 on Netflix and since then the followers of the series haven’t stopped
increasing. The peculiarity of Black Mirror is that it’s sci-fi and each
episode tells a different story. Today, I am going to review season 3 episode 1
(Nosedive).
In a world where people wear contact lenses that feed
information about people and about their ratings, Bryce Dallas in the role
of Lacie Pound is about to buy the house of her dreams but she has to have more
than 4.2 so that she can get a generous discount. In order to reach the rating,
she decides to get in contact with her childhood best friend (a 4.8) and
manages to be her maid of honour at her wedding. Things get a little
complicated right away from starting the trip to the wedding.
The most enjoyable thing about the episode is the special
effects and the principal actress. The stage props are so pleasing
to the sight and I think we all imagined the future like the episode did show
us. The actress plays such an important role that she knew how to make it so
believable and macabre.
On the other hand, I find that her brother
could have had a bigger role. He might only be a 3.7 but because he’s somehow
managed to keep a foot on the ground, and the director didn’t give him the
importance that it really has nowadays.
The episode did not show so much their real lives but
the lives they want other people to see and think they are living. Mostly they
worry, about how they are seen, about their status … and that easily can be
linked to these days in society. I would definitely recommend this episode!
