“I always thought ‘Black Mirror’ should contain stories that are completely distinct from each other, and still keep surprising people (and myself) otherwise what’s the point? It should be a series that can’t be easily defined and can keep reinventing itself,” series creator Brooker told Netflix’s Tudum. “So, partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I started this season by deliberately overturning some of my fundamental assumptions about what to expect.”
Brooker added, “As a result, this time around, alongside some of the more familiar ‘Black Mirror’ clichés, we also have some new elements, including some that I previously swore the show would never do, to stretch the parameters of what which even an episode of “Black Mirror” is.The stories are still all tonally “Black Mirror” through and through, but with some insane swings and more variety than ever before.
