Black Mirror Season 7 Review: Charlie Brooker’s Dark Vision

Black Mirror season 7 review

Black Mirror season 7 review: Black Mirror has always thrived on cynicism, fear, and wicked tech twists—but Season 7 adds surprising warmth and humanity to the mix. But in season 7, Charlie Brooker surprises fans by adding more heart to the horror. The show still delivers chaos and bleak comedy—but this time, the emotional punches hit just as hard.

This season’s most ambitious move? A sequel. The finale, USS Callister: Into Infinity, continues a fan-favorite tale from season 4. Yet, it feels like the weakest link, relying too heavily on nostalgia without offering a fresh shock.

A Softer, More Human Black Mirror

  • Common People, starring Chris O’Dowd and Rashida Jones, explores a dystopian brain upload subscription model. It’s a ruthless satire—but one with unexpected compassion.
  • Hotel Reverie sees Issa Rae trapped in a romantic AI film simulation. A heartfelt nod to movie magic, blending The Truman Show vibes with a warm love letter to Hollywood fiction.
  • In Eulogy, Paul Giamatti delivers a gut-wrenching performance as a man reliving past love through old photos. It’s low-tech by Black Mirror standards—but emotionally powerful.

Still Twisted, Still Sharp

Not everything has gone soft. Bête Noire brings classic Black Mirror tension with a wicked corporate psychological thriller that spirals into unhinged chaos. It’s a perfect reminder that Brooker’s bite remains intact.

Only Plaything falls flat. Despite Peter Capaldi’s enigmatic performance, the story fizzles out before it even begins. It’s a well-dressed setup with no follow-through.

Final Verdict

Black Mirror season 7 review: Anthology TV is a tough act, but Black Mirror Season 7 mostly sticks the landing.It’s the most emotionally resonant season yet—without losing its edge.
