'Black Mirror' Has Always Been About Us
Huff PostMyha'la Herrold stars as Pia in one of the most incriminating episodes from the new season of "Black Mirror." Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone” remains the gold standard, but creator Charlie Brooker’s “Black Mirror” has always held an impressive adjacency to that iconic show. At its best, “Black Mirror” doesn’t exclusively rely on robots, incredible tech or a “Jetsons” like utopia we might one day escape to — or perhaps run from — in telling its stories. Surprisingly, Brooker told GQ leading up to the show’s Season 6 premiere last week that he doesn’t actually get inspiration from reality: “What I tend to do instead is an idea for something that I hope doesn’t happen.” Perhaps time is moving so fast that what could or will happen is already right here, because the latest episodes of “Black Mirror,” dropping a long four years after the previous season, feel just as urgent as ever. “Industry” star Myha’la Herrold plays Pia, a filmmaker who retreats to the Scottish homeland of her boyfriend, Davis, to begin working with him on a new documentary.
