Even Christopher's Last Request to get Hayley the password to her daughter's account turns out to be something she likely would've figured out by trial and error on her own eventually. Billy Bauer returns to his meditation, leaving it ambiguous if Christopher's story really affected him - and even if it did, he told us he doesn't think he has any power to change what Smithereen has become, even if he quits the company. All the smartphone addicts who'd been glued to the hostage situation go back to their routines. Whatever the outcome was for Jaden and Christopher personally, the ending shows that in the wider world nothing changed. All for Nothing: The implication of the Downer Ending.20 Minutes into the Past: The only episode - the standalone film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch notwithstanding - known to actually take place before its release, it's set in 2018 with limited tech, reinforcing the tech-addict sentiment as well as depicting the reality of Big Data in the present.The portrayal of a guy that used social media and ended up doing harm, then felt really bad, blamed himself, wanted to say so to someone that was forced to listen?

Smithereens, are you joking me, this is old news, it's actually happened. For both advancement in the game and curiosity, how could you have made it to 2019 and not have already seen this.

If I wanted these kinds of bland, nothing exciting, or nothing bending my mind, I'd tune in to TNTĪll this seasons episodes deal with things that have crossed my mind ten years ago, if they didn't cross yours, well, there isn't much you can do with jello, so keep adding alcohol and smile. Nothing even new in the world of story telling. No plot twists, nothing exciting, nothing unexpected. I mean I get what people are saying, how it reflects our current society, but come on that's not what "Black Mirror" is supposed to be. What a pile of an episode, and a pile of a season.
