I’m hoping it can pick up stream again. At this point it’s a vehicle for anyone to tell a story and I think the quality dips and peaks based more on the writers and directions, rather than any societal parallels. If this show was some sort of consistent narrative with the same characters, I could see it (i.e. Simpsons, South Park), but Black Mirror is pretty fucking close to a blank slate. There’s no reason we couldn’t have the best seasons in the future, but it really depends on who has the reigns imho.
That's a fair point.
It's a personal preference of sorts. I would rather they started a new project to highlight up and coming directors or focus on a special concept while putting the "Black Mirror" series on hold for 5-10 years.
That would be enough time for some novel n concepts around society and technology to become relevant.
