Sometimes, you've got to laugh your way through the existential horrors of man's own making.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Season 6 of Black Mirror.Black Mirror has returned to Netflix for its first post-pandemic season, and the new episodes have shown that those behind the hit anthology series weren't afraid to experiment during the show's hiatus. Between setting episodes in the past to exploring the supernatural, Season 6 has set itself apart from its predecessors, potentially marking a new era for Black Mirror.
'Black Mirror' Season 6's Premiere Is About Finding Humor in Nightmare Scenarios "Joan Is Awful" starts off similarly enough to any Black Mirror classic, introducing us to the episode's titular protagonist, Joan , and the world she lives in, which is very similar to the modern real world except for a streaming service called "Streamberry" standing in for Netflix.
In an age where it's borderline impossible to read and comprehend the terms and conditions of everything one signs up for, her fury at the situation is deeply relatable, which is what makes humor work particularly well with Black Mirror's present-day episodes. As infuriating as the state of late-stage capitalism is, from a certain angle the absurdity of it all is laughable.
