When “Black Mirror” arrived to the screen, it quickly earned a reputation for being one of the best-produced shows on television in a long while, and it’s not hard to see why it got to that point. It’s not just about the basic idea of the show (which was definitely original and exciting enough by itself), but the producers also had a very direct approach to running the show and interacting with their community.
With that in mind, it should be no surprise that the new third season of “Black Mirror” arrived to some fantastic reviews, and many fans and critics are very pleased with how the show has been developed. Positive reviews are all over the place, and it looks like many critics are actually finding it hard to find anything negative about the show at all.
While there are some minor things that can be pointed out, the overall result is a very strong new season. Some of the positive points that have been mentioned in various reviews include the fact that the producers have clearly taken a few risks, and they have paid off very well for them.
The new episodes of the show have their own distinct style, and there are differences even between separate episodes, according to reviewers. The season starts with a more classically themed couple of episodes, exploring some ideas that the show originally brought up in its first season.
At the same time, we’ll see the show boldly exploring some new ideas about its premise, including some frightening technological creations that will shock even the most rugged viewers. Reports have been very positive about the overall creativity with which the new horrors of the third season have been developed, so fans should be pleased with the overall result.
The producers have decided to go for a longer season this time as well, unlike the first two which drew some criticism for their short length. This time we’re going to see a whole 12 new episodes lined up, and it looks like the showrunners are starting to draw some long-term plans at this point.
Which is definitely great to see, because there was some questioning of their motives within the community recently. Some fans were convinced that “Black Mirror” is doomed to a short existence, and the show won’t be around for much longer after its current third season.
It’s clear that the producers want to keep it on air for as long as possible though, especially considering the fact that they are apparently splitting the season into two halves. Of course, it all depends on how the deal with the network is going to run in the future, but as long as “Black Mirror” keeps scoring such great reviews all around, we see no reason for the show to face a discontinuation.
Fans who were annoyed by the “sunny” nature of the first two episodes of season 3 shouldn’t worry, as previews for the rest of the season indicate that the show will quickly go back to its gloomy atmosphere that it’s so well-known for.
This seems to be a temporary break in which the producers are trying to explore a different theme for the production, and it’s working out rather well so far. The contrast which these episodes are setting for the future will no doubt lead to some amazing moments, but the showrunners have been keeping pretty quiet so we’re not so sure what exactly to expect.
