After a long hiatus, Charlie Brooker’s anthology returns to Netflix, tackling the corruptibility of humankind (and even dipping into yesteryear).
The first episode, “Joan Is Awful,” sets us up for this unexpected tonal shift. Starring the ever-delightfuland Actual Salma Hayek, it spins a yarn about an average woman with above-average hair who is stunned to discover a global streaming platform has launched a trashy new TV drama adaptation of her life, warts and all. It’s LOL-funny in places, which is always welcome. It’s engrossing, too, despite being the weakest in this new collection.
The second chapter in the tale, “Loch Henry,” sees a couple of bright young things head to a sleepy Scottish town, where they plan to make a very lovely and ever so high-brow documentary about a vigilante of the natural world. Instead, they sit down for a pint with Stuart and quickly become obsessed with his tale of a shocking true crime that rocked the town many years ago. Too bad, then, that Stuart’s booze-guzzling dad doesn’t want them digging over the coals of the past.
“Demon 79” is the very definition of saving the best til last. Again, it sends us rocketing back in time, to 1979—and, again, its focus isn’t on the evils of technology. Instead, it gives us Nida , a lonely sales assistant who accidentally summons a discowear-clad demon on her lunch break. Serving twistedhis demonic wings, and that he will only do so if he convinces Nida to carry out three human sacrifices.
