Black Mirror.
Been working my way backwards seasonally through these happy funtime light comedy drama vignettes butFFS, SEASON 3, EPISODE 3, WFTTTT WAS THAT BLACK-SOULED FUCKING CRATER-COCKED BULLSHIT??
This fucking one:
If this particular episode of the TV show entitled "Black Mirror" does NOT look familiar to you then please, please, please, NEVER, EVER, EVER WATCH THIS EPISODE OF THE TV SHOW NAMED "BLACK MIRROR".
NO.
JUST DON'T.
GETTING A BIT CURIOUS ARE WE? IMMEDIATELY ADMINISTER 20 HAIL MARY COCKPUNCHES TO YOUR BALLSACK REGION AND, ONCE YOU HAVE CAUGHT YOUR BREATH, QUICKLY MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE. YOU ARE FUCKING WELCOME.
I know, I know, I'm going to sound like a parody of an idiot from a satirical news story "Local Idiot Feels Bleak Ending To Black Mirror Episode During Global Pandemic "Just A Bit Much" but... FFFFFFFFFFS
I've marvelled at the brilliance at most episodes in season 6 and 5 and 4 but FFFFFS S3 ep3 was just BEYOND THE FUCKIGN PALE.
The fucking thing started bleakly, quickly piled on the misery, then swiftly ratcheted up the tension, hastily added in more pain, heartlessly threw in a heaping helping of exasperation, cruelly ladled in buckets of abjectly inhumane terror and then, just when you're thinking okay, there must be SOME sort of faint hope for SOME character involved in this episode of a television show, a medium that is after all loosely tethered to the entertainment realm, that is when Brooker coldly marinades your last tendril of hope in a Marianas trench worth of fucking tears, casually dashes your brains all over the sharpish corner of the coffee table, and abruptly shows himself out.
