Within the framework of a Twilight Zone-like anthology show, Black Mirror‘s demonstrated a pleasingly elastic style, running the gamut from futuristic comedy (series three opener, Nosedive) to  poignant drama (series two’s Be Right Back) to outright horror (White Bear, this year’s gritty Metalhead). Add in contributions from Chewing Gum’s Michaela Cole (pulling double duty in the Black Mirror universe after appearing as a stewardess in season 3’s “Nosedive”) and Billy Magnussen and you’ve got yourself a good time. Instead, William Bridges and Charlie Brooker’s script uses it as a jumping off point for something even more exciting: a story.
